CORSIKA: A Monte Carlo code to simulate extensive air showers

TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of the information seeking and use models for professionals, essentially, the information access practices, is discussed. But two main categories can be distinguished : the informationseeking and use model versus the information retrieval model, and we will evaluate them in order to see if a convergence is possible with the same vocabulary and procedures.

Design concepts for the Cherenkov Telescope Array CTA: An advanced facility for ground-based high-energy gamma-ray astronomy

Marcos Daniel Actis, +685 more
TL;DR: The ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has had a major breakthrough with the impressive results obtained using systems of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes as mentioned in this paper, which is an international initiative to build the next generation instrument, with a factor of 5-10 improvement in sensitivity in the 100 GeV-10 TeV range and the extension to energies well below 100GeV and above 100 TeV.
Journal ArticleDOI

Properties and performance of the prototype instrument for the Pierre Auger Observatory

J. Abraham, +356 more
TL;DR: The first phase of the Pierre Auger Observatory has been completed and all of the sub-systems that will be used in the full instrument to be tested under field conditions as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Introducing the CTA concept

B. S. Acharya, +982 more
TL;DR: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) as discussed by the authors is a very high-energy (VHE) gamma ray observatory with an international collaboration with more than 1000 members from 27 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and North and South America.
Journal ArticleDOI

Update on the correlation of the highest energy cosmic rays with nearby extragalactic matter

P. Abreu, +495 more
TL;DR: In this paper, anisotropy was measured by the fraction of arrival directions that are less than 3.1 degrees from the position of an active galactic nucleus within 75 Mpc (using the Veron-Cetty and Veron 12th catalog).
