Description
AugerPrime, the ongoing upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory, has been designed to improve the sensitivity of ultra-high-energy cosmic ray (UHECR) measurements to a level that enhances the capabilities of the original design. An essential aspect of this upgrade is the installation of the Radio Detector (RD), which consists of antennas mounted on top of each of the 1660 water-Cherenkov detectors. These antennas possess polarizations aligned both parallel and perpendicular to the Earth's
magnetic field, making them sensitive to the detection of inclined showers. The key emphasis of the RD installation is its high sensitivity to the electromagnetic component of air showers, providing novel insights for reconstructing the primary mass, energy, and arrival direction of UHECR.
The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) has been operational within the Pierre Auger Observatory for several years. Utilizing the collected data, it became possible to demonstrate the feasibility of radio detection, enabling the measurement of inclined showers with zenith angles from 60 to 84 degrees.
In this presentation, we provide an update on the status of the AugerPrime Radio Detector and offer an overview of the results obtained from AERA.
