The Lidar system of the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Observatory in Malargüe, Argentina, is designed to study the origin of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays with energies above 10 18 eV . The energy calibration of the detector is based on a system of four air fluorescence detectors. To obtain reliable calorimetric information from the flu...
