Abstract: With electrocatalysis being the very foundation of multiple energy conversion technologies, the search for more effective, and affordable catalysts is becoming increasingly important for their further development. Recently, the multicomponent approach, together with the electronic structure calculations, have established themselves as promising ways of designing such materials. In the presented study, both these approaches are combined, leading to the development of a unprecedented (Co,Fe,Ni)3Se4 chalcogenide catalyst. Based on the extensive density functional theory calculations (DFT), and structural data, the impact of the multi-element atomic arrangement is discussed, and the possible benefits of such a design strategy are identified. The transport and catalytic properties of the materials are studied, showing excellent charge transfer capabilities, combined with very high catalytic activity with regard to the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), as evidenced by the current densities of 120, 500, and 1000 mA cm-2 at overpotentials of 250, 360, and 450 mV. Of importance, all these results are achieved for the bulk-type electrode, obtained by a simple and scalable process, a considerable advantage over most of the state-of-the-art electrocatalysts, requiring costly and time-consuming nano-structuring of the electrode layer.

6. Cu-Bx (X: N, CN, P) Composites for CO2 Electroreduction: Materials Vs. Gas Diffusion Electrode Characteristics

Author: Kevinjeorjios Pellumbi, Mathias Smialkowski, Daniel Siegmund, Kai junge Puring, and Ulf-Peter Apfel
Abstract: The conversion of CO2 is an attractive strategy towards the mitigation of environmental pollution, and the production of bulk chemicals and fuels by renewables. In the field of CO2 electroreduction, copper constitutes the most versatile catalyst, being able to generate CO, C2H4, CH4, as well as alcohols and acids from CO2. Lately, research on Cu-based CO2 electroreduction has focused on two main topics: firstly, the operation under elevated current densities through the development of stable and selective gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs), and electrolyzers; secondly, the tuning of the selectivity of Cu-catalysts towards a specific product. Regarding the latter, common methods, include doping with other metals and heteroatoms, alloying, as well as creating electrode architectures consisting often of Cu/Ag and Cu/Zn structures. Contrary to Cu, only a few heterogeneous electrocatalysts have shown the ability to generate more complex molecules beyond CO and HCOOH, such as hydrocarbons and alcohols. Among these catalysts, the chemically robust and synthetically scalable, boron phosphide (BP) has shown the ability to favor the production of CH3OH from CO2 under low current densities of ca. 2 mA cm-2. Aiming to achieve a synergistic effect between Cu and BP, we herein investigate the role of electrode characteristics versus material properties in gas diffusion electrodes under industrially relevant current densities > 100 mA cm-2. Starting from GDE-properties, we report on the influence of the layer arrangement of Cu and BP on the surface of the GDL, their mixing ratio as well as the deposition method and cell type on the CO2 electroreduction. Furthermore, in order to elucidate the role of material properties towards deciding the product spectrum, we compared the activity of B-compounds with different structural characteristics, possessing cubic as well as hexagonal structures. Concretely, cubic boron nitride (c-BN), and phosphide (BP) as well as hexagonal boron carbon nitride (h-BCN), and hexagonal BN (h-BN) are evaluated in a series of Cu-based GDEs. Depending on the selected layer arrangement, material combination and mixing ratio we are able to steer the main CO2RR product to either CO, C2H4 or CH4 at 200 mA cm-2. Beyond Cu-BX GDEs, our results demonstrate that in the case of synergistic effects, material/electrocatalyst development and electrode/electrolyzer architecture must go hand-in-hand, providing important strategies towards the optimization of composite electrocatalysts.

Abstract: We report high-resolution infrared spectroscopic studies on complexes of propargyl alcohol with water (D2O) molecules, formed in superfluid helium droplets. The spectra were recorded in the frequency ranges of 2605-2700 cm-1 and 2730-2820 cm-1, covering the symmetric and antisymmetric stretching vibrations of the bound D2O. Mass-selective infrared spectroscopic measurements, a variation of the band intensities with dopant partial pressures (pickup curves) and ab initio calculations, performed at the MP2/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory, reveal the formation of two local minimum structures for the 1 : 1 PAD2O cluster. These structures are bound via O-HO (with water as the H-bond donor) and -C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-HO (with propargyl alcohol as the H-bond donor) interactions and are less stable by 4.9 kJ mol-1 and 12.7 kJ mol-1, respectively, as compared to the global minimum structure for the complex.

Abstract: The efficient reduction of protons by non-noble metals under mild conditions is a challenge for our modern society. Nature utilises hydrogenases, enzymatic machineries that comprise iron- and nickel- containing active sites, to perform the conversion of protons to hydrogen. We herein report a straightforward synthetic pathway towards well-defined particles of the bio-inspired material FexNi9−xS8, a structural and functional analogue of hydrogenase metal sulfur clusters. Moreover, the potential of pentlandites to serve as photocatalysts for solar-driven H2-production is assessed for the first time. The FexNi9−xS8 materials are visible light responsive (band gaps between 2.02 and 2.49 eV, depending on the pentlandite’s Fe : Ni content) and display a conduction band energy close to the thermodynamic potential for proton reduction. Despite the limited driving force, a modest activity for photocatalytic H2 has been observed. Our observations show the potential for the future development of pentlandites as photocatalysts. This work provides a basis to explore powerful synergies between biomimetic chemistry and material design to unlock novel applications in solar energy conversion.

Abstract: Um leistungsfahigere Elektrokatalysatoren zu entwickeln, ist es notwendig, den Einfluss der Oberflachenstruktur und -zusammensetzung von Materialien mit hoher lokaler Auflosung besser zu verstehen. Dies trifft insbesondere auf die Entwicklung geeigneter Alternativen fur Platin bei der elektrokatalytischen Wasserstofferzeugung zu. Elektrochemische Rasterzellmikroskopie (scanning electrochemical cell microscopy, SECCM) wurde benutzt, um die lokale elektrochemische Aktivitat der Wasserstoffbildung an einkristallinen (111)-Oberflachen von Fe4.5Ni4.5S8, einem hochaktiven Elektrokatalysator fur die Wasserstofferzeugung, zu untersuchen. In Kombination mit strukturaufklarenden Methoden zeigen wir, dass kleinste Veranderungen der chemischen Zusammensetzung die Aktivitat signifikant verandern konnen. Somit stellen die auf der Nanoskala durchgefuhrten elektrochemischen Messungen, erganzt mit lokalen strukturellen Messungen sowie Kenntnis der lokalen Zusammensetzung ein wichtiges Hilfsmittel fur das rationale Design neuer Katalysatoren dar.

Abstract: In order to design more powerful electrocatalysts, developing our understanding of the role of the surface structure and composition of widely abundant bulk materials is crucial. This is particularly true in the search for alternative hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts to replace platinum. We report scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) measurements of the (111)‐crystal planes of Fe4.5Ni4.5S8, a highly active HER catalyst. In combination with structural characterization methods, we show that this technique can reveal differences in activity arising from even the slightest compositional changes. By probing electrochemical properties at the nanoscale, in conjunction with complementary structural information, novel design principles are revealed for application to rational material synthesis.\ud \ud

Abstract: Background The introduction of ablative fractional CO2 lasers (CO2-AFL) for burn scar management shows promising results. Whilst recent studies have focused on objective scar outcomes following CO2-AFL treatment, to date no data on patient subjective factors such as quality of life are available. Methods A prospective study was initiated to analyze the safety and efficacy of the CO2-AFL. Various objective and subjective outcome parameters were prospectively collected from the date of first consultation and follow-up following treatment. Objective factors include the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS), the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS), and ultrasound measurements of the thickness of the scar. Subjective parameters included the assessment of neuropathic pain and pruritus, as well as the evaluation of improvement of quality of life following CO2-AFL with the Burns Specific Health Scale (BSHS-B). For treatment effect analysis, patients were stratified according to scar maturation status (> or Results 47 patients with 118 burn scars completed at least one treatment cycle. At a median of 55 days (IQR 32–74) after CO2-AFL treatment all analyzed objective parameters decreased significantly: intra-patient normalized scar thickness decreased from a median of 2.4 mm to 1.9 mm (p Conclusion Our preliminary results confirm significant improvement in thickness, texture, colour, and symptoms following treatment with CO2-AFL. Foremost, quality of life of patients with both immature and mature scars (up to 23 years after injury) improved significantly after just one treatment session.

Abstract: The anterolateral thigh free flap (ALTFF) has become the favourable fasciocutaneous flap for reconstruction of laryngo-pharyngoesophagectomy (LPO) defects. Reconstruction of these defects can be challenging. We report our experience with a new flap design based on the traditional ALTFF template for single-stage reconstruction of circumferential LPO defects with anterior neck skin deficits in previously irradiated patients. The design uses the traditional tubed skin island to create the neopharynx and also utilises the natural dog-ears from the thigh as a second vascularised skin island that can be used to fill dead space or externalised to resurface the neck. This addresses the issues of monitoring the internal skin paddle and also of replacing anterior neck skin deficits with a single flap. Level of Evidence: Level V, therapeutic study.

Abstract: Synthetic pentlandite (Fe4.5Ni4.5S8) is a promising electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution, demonstrating high current densities, low overpotential, and remarkable stability in bulk form. The depletion of sulfur from the surface of this catalyst during the electrochemical reaction has been proposed to be beneficial for its catalytic performance, but the role of sulfur vacancies and the mechanism determining the reaction kinetics are still unknown. We have performed electrochemical operando studies of the vibrational dynamics of pentlandite under hydrogen evolution reaction conditions using 57Fe nuclear resonant inelastic X-ray scattering. Comparing the measured Fe partial vibrational density of states with density functional theory calculations, we have demonstrated that hydrogen atoms preferentially occupy substitutional positions replacing pre-existing sulfur vacancies. Once all vacancies are filled, the protonation proceeds interstitially, which slows down the reaction. Our results highlight the benefi...

Abstract: The rock material pentlandite with the composition Fe(4.5)Ni(4.5)S(8) was synthesized via high temperature synthesis from the elements. The structure and composition of the material was characterized via powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Mössbauer spectroscopy (MB), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Two preparation methods of pentlandite bulk electrodes are presented. In the first approach a piece of synthetic pentlandite rock is directly contacted via a wire ferrule. The second approach utilizes pentlandite pellets, pressed from finely ground powder, which is immobilized in a Teflon casing. Both electrodes, whilst being prepared by an additive-free method, reveal high durability during electrocatalytic conversions in comparison to common drop-coating methods. We herein showcase the striking performance of such electrodes to accomplish the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and present a standardized method to evaluate the electrocatalytic performance by electrochemical and gas chromatographic methods. Furthermore, we report stability tests via potentiostatic methods at an overpotential of 0.6 V to explore the material limitations of the electrodes during electrolysis under industrial relevant conditions.

Abstract: Background To evaluate percutaneous endovascular repair of popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs) using self-expanding covered stent grafts. Methods A retrospective record review of consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous endovascular PAA repair across 2 Australian centers between April 2009 and May 2012 was performed. Results We report 16 patients (mean age: 77.3; 93% men) with PAA in 20 limbs who underwent percutaneous endovascular repair using self-expanding covered stent grafts. The mean aneurysm diameter was 3 cm (range: 2–5.1 cm). Ultrasound-guided percutaneous antegrade access was used in all cases: 16 superficial femoral artery punctures and 4 common femoral artery punctures. The mean number of runoff vessels per limb was 1.84 (42%, 1 vessel; 32%, 2 vessels; and 26%, 3 vessels). Technical success was 100%. A mean number of 1.82 stents were deployed in each limb (range: 1–3). The mean stent diameter was 8.84 (range: 6–13). The median follow-up time was 12 months (range: 0–24 months). Primary patency of 85% and secondary patency of 90% were achieved in our study. The limb loss and mortality rate were 5% both in a patient with an undiagnosed prothrombotic condition. Puncture site complications were seen in 1 patient (5%) who had a bleeding diathesis. Conclusions Percutaneous endovascular repair of PAA using self-expanding stent grafts can be safely performed and achieved good results achieved in most patients.

19. (Invited) From Manipulated Enzymes to Solid State Electrodes –Towards the Reduction of Protons and CO2

Author: Kai junge Puring, Mathias Smialkowski, David Tetzlaff, Daniel Siegmund, and Ulf-Peter Apfel
Abstract: The efficient reduction of protons and CO2 under mild conditions is a current challenge for modern society. Nature utilizes enzymatic machineries that comprise iron- and nickel- containing active sites to perform these transformations.1 Recently, we reported on the formidable HER activity of bulk Fe4.5Ni4.5S8 electrodes as a bio-inspired material revealing similar structural and functional properties of [FeNi] hydrogenases.2,3,4 We herein set out to explore the influence of the Fe : Ni ratio on the performance of the electrocatalyst.5 Using linear sweep voltammetry, we show that the increase in the Fe or Ni content, respectively, lowers the activity of the bulk electrocatalyst towards HER. Comparable to the enzymes, specific Fe-Ni interactions seem to be the key for the observed HER activity. Furthermore, due to the resemblance of such sulfides with CO2 converting enzymes, we likewise investigated Fe4.5Ni4.5S8 electrodes to perform the reduction of CO2. In non-aqueous conditions, this material is indeed a potential catalyst affording CO as main product with high Faradaic yields. 1F. Möller, S. Piontek, R. G. Miller, U.-P. Apfel, Chem. Eur.

Abstract: Data from the Pierre Auger Observatory are analyzed to search for anisotropies near the direction of the Galactic Centre at EeV energies. The exposure of the surface array in this part of the sky is already significantly larger than that of the fore-runner experiments. Our results do not support previous findings of localized excesses in the AGASA and SUGAR data. We set an upper bound on a point-like flux of cosmic rays arriving from the Galactic Centre which excludes several scenarios predicting sources of EeV neutrons from Sagittarius $A$. Also the events detected simultaneously by the surface and fluorescence detectors (the `hybrid' data set), which have better pointing accuracy but are less numerous than those of the surface array alone, do not show any significant localized excess from this direction., Comment: Matches published version

Abstract: The laparoscopic approach to repair of inguinal hernia has proven advantages over open repair. Repair of more technically challenging hernias, such as patients previously receiving prostatectomy, has been less studied and may not have these advantages. We aimed to compare safety, feasibility, and clinical outcomes for repairs in patients who previously underwent prostatectomy to control subjects. We undertook a case–control study using a prospectively collected database. From 2004, all patients were routinely offered totally extraperitoneal laparoscopic repair. All patients who had a history of previous prostatectomy were identified and compared to a matched control group. Both operative and follow-up data were analyzed. Of 987 patients undergoing surgery during this time period, 52 prostatectomy patients were identified (44 % open, 44 % robotic, 3 % laparoscopic) and matched to 102 control subjects. Accounting for bilateral repairs, 203 hernia repairs had been performed. Patients were well matched for age and American Society of Anesthesiologists score. Operative time was longer for prostatectomy patients (mean, 70 vs. 52 min, p

Abstract: Ultrahigh energy cosmic ray air showers probe particle physics at energies beyond the reach of accelerators. Here we introduce a new method to test hadronic interaction models without relying on the absolute energy calibration, and apply it to events with primary energy 6-16 EeV (ECM=110-170 TeV), whose longitudinal development and lateral distribution were simultaneously measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory. The average hadronic shower is 1.33±0.16 (1.61±0.21) times larger than predicted using the leading LHC-tuned models EPOS-LHC (QGSJetII-04), with a corresponding excess of muons., La lista completa de autores que integran el documento puede consultarse en el archivo, Instituto de Física La Plata

The objectives of the Observatory are to probe the origin and characteristics of cosmic rays above 1017 eV and to study the interactions of these, the most energetic particles observed in nature. The Auger design features an array of 1660 water Cherenkov particle detector stations spread over 3000 km2 overlooked by 24 air fluorescence telescopes. In addition, three high elevation fluorescence telescopes overlook a 23.5 km2, 61-detector infilled array with 750 m spacing. The Observatory has been in successful operation since completion in 2008 and has recorded data from an exposure exceeding 40,000 km2 sr yr. This paper describes the design and performance of the detectors, related subsystems and infrastructure that make up the Observatory., Comision Nacional de Energia Atomica, Fundacion Antorchas, Gobierno De La Provincia de Mendoza, Municipalidad de Malargue, NDM Holdings and Valle Las Lenas, Australian Research Council, National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), Ciencia Tecnologia e Inovacao (FINEP), Carlos Chagas Filho Foundation for Research Support of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ), Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP) 2010/07359-6 1999/05404-3, Ministerio de Ciencia e Tecnologia (MCT), Brazil, Ministry of Education, Youth & Sports - Czech Republic LG13007 7AMB14AR005 CZ.1.05/2.1.00/03.0058, Grant Agency of the Czech Republic Czech Republic Government 14-17501S, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Region Ile-de-France, Departement Physique Nucleaire et Corpusculaire PNC-IN2P3/CNRS, Departement Sciences de l'Univers (SDU-INSU/CNRS), Institut Lagrange de Paris, French National Research Agency (ANR) ANR-11-IDEX-0004-02 ANR-10-LABX-63, Federal Ministry of Education & Research (BMBF), German Research Foundation (DFG), Finanzministerium Baden-Wurttemberg, Helmholtz Alliance for Astroparticle Physics (HAP), Helmholtz Association, Ministerium fur Wissenschaft und Forschung, Nordrhein Westfalen, Ministerium fur Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, Istituto Nazionale Astrofisica (INAF), Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR), Gran Sasso Center for Astroparticle Physics (CFA), CETEMPS Center of Excellence, Italy, Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia (CONACyT), Ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap, Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), FOM (The Netherlands) Netherlands Government, National Centre for Research and Development ERA-NET-ASPERA/01/11 ERA-NET-ASPERA/02/11, National Science Centre, Poland 2013/08/M/ST9/00322 2013/08/M/ST9/00728 HARMONIA 5 - 2013/10/M/ST9/00062, Portuguese national funds, FEDER funds within COMPETE - Programa Operacional Factores de Competitividade through Fundacao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia, Portugal, Romanian Authority for Scientific Research ANCS, CNDI-UEFISCDI 20/2012 194/2012 1/ASPERA2/2012 ERA-NET PN-II-RU-PD-2011-3-0145-17 PN-II-RU-PD-2011-3-0062, Programme for research - Space Technology and Advanced Research - STAR, Romania 83/2013, Slovenian Research Agency - Slovenia, Comunidad de Madrid Instituto de Salud Carlos III, European Union (EU), Spanish Government, Xunta de Galicia, European Community, Spain FP7-PEOPLE-2012-IEF-328826, Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC), United States Department of Energy (DOE) DE-AC02-07CH11359 DE-FR02-04ER41300 DE-FG02-99ER41107 DE-SC0011689, National Science Foundation (NSF) 0450696, Grainger Foundation, USA, National Foundation for Science & Technology Development (NAFOSTED), Marie Curie-IRSES/EPLANET, European Particle Physics Latin American Network, European Union (EU) PIRSES-2009-GA-246806, UNESCO

Abstract: AMIGA (Auger Muons and Infill for the Ground Array) is an upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory designed to extend its energy range of detection and to directly measure the muon content of the cosmic ray primary particle showers. The array will be formed by an infill of surface water-Cherenkov detectors associated with buried scintillation counters employed for muon counting. Each counter is composed of three scintillation modules, with a 10 m$^2$ detection area per module. In this paper, a new generation of detectors, replacing the current multi-pixel photomultiplier tube (PMT) with silicon photo sensors (aka. SiPMs), is proposed. The selection of the new device and its front-end electronics is explained. A method to calibrate the counting system that ensures the performance of the detector is detailed. This method has the advantage of being able to be carried out in a remote place such as the one where the detectors are deployed. High efficiency results, i.e. 98 % efficiency for the highest tested overvoltage, combined with a low probability of accidental counting ($\sim$2 %), show a promising performance for this new system., Comment: 24 pages, 12 figures

Abstract: Data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory provide evidence for anisotropy in the arrival directions of the cosmic rays with the ighest-energies, which are correlated with the positions of relatively nearby active galactic nuclei (AGN) [Pierre Auger Collaboration, Science 318 (2007) 938]. The correlation has maximum significance for cosmic rays with energy greater than ~6 x 1019 eV and AGN at a distance less than ~75 Mpc. We have confirmed the anisotropy at a confidence level of more than 99% through a test with parameters specified a priori, using an independent data set. The observed correlation is compatible with the hypothesis that cosmic rays with the highest-energies originate from extra-galactic sources close enough so that their flux is not significantly attenuated by interaction with the cosmic background radiation (the Greisen–Zatsepin–Kuz’min effect). The angular scale of the correlation observed is a few degrees, which suggests a predominantly light composition unless the magnetic fields are very weak outside the thin disk of our galaxy. Our present data do not identify AGN as the sources of cosmic rays unambiguously, and other candidate sources which are distributed as nearby AGN are not ruled out. We discuss the prospect of unequivocal identification of individual sources of the highest-energy cosmic rays within a few years of continued operation of the Pierre Auger Observatory., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: A method is developed to search for air showers initiated by photons using data recorded by the surface detector of the Auger Observatory. The approach is based on observables sensitive to the longitudinal shower development, the signal risetime and the curvature of the shower front. Applying this method to the data, upper limits on the flux of photons of 3.8 x 10-3, 2.5 x 10-3; and 2.2 x 10-3 km-2 sr-1 yr-1 above 1019 eV, 2 x 1019 eV; and 4 x 1019 eV are derived, with corresponding limits on the fraction of photons being 2.0%, 5.1%, and 31% (all limits at 95% c.l.). These photon limits disfavor certain exotic models of sources of cosmic rays. The results also show that the approach adopted by the Auger Observatory to calibrate the shower energy is not strongly biased by a contamination from photons., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: An analysis has been made of the fraction of ultra high energy cosmic rays (above 1018 eV) which could be due to processes involved in two possible ‘Models’. The first is the Giant Magnetic Halo Model and the second is the Dark Matter Halo Model. We find that the former, in which heavy nuclei are trapped in a giant halo, fails for energies above about 3 × 1019 eV. For the Dark Matter Halo Model, in which relic particles follow the “conventional” dark matter and whose decays give ultra high energy cosmic rays, the predicted anisotropies are much higher than those observed. The lack of observation of a finite flux from the Andromeda Galaxy means that the conclusion is insensitive to the spatial scale size of the assumed halo distribution. It is concluded that less than 10% of the ultra high energy cosmic rays come from relic particles in the Galactic halo.

Abstract: We have returned to the problem of the apparently diffuse gamma rays coming from extragalactic space, the energy range being 30 MeV-4 GeV. The return involves the use of somewhat more precise EGRET data (Phase 1 and 2 sky survey) than was used in our earlier work but more particularly a detailed analysis of the Inverse Compton contribution, of Galactic origin. The ensuing extragalactic intensity is significantly lower than hitherto and an interesting consequence is that the spectrum joins rather nicely that estimated recently at lower energies using the COMPTEL instrument. We have also made a rather speculative estimate of the contribution from gamma rays produced in the Giant Galactic Halo which has been claimed to extend to some 100 kpc from the sun. The conclusion is that the truly extragalactic diffuse intensity could be much lower than commonly estimated over a wide energy band.

Abstract: The Pierre Auger Observatory in Malargue, Argentina, is designed to study the properties of ultra-high energy cosmic rays with energies above 10(18) eV. It is a hybrid facility that employs a Fluorescence Detector to perform nearly calorimetric measurements of Extensive Air Shower energies. To obtain reliable calorimetric information from the FD, the atmospheric conditions at the observatory need to be continuously monitored during data acquisition. In particular, light attenuation due to aerosols is an important atmospheric correction. The aerosol concentration is highly variable, so that the aerosol attenuation needs to be evaluated hourly. We use light from the Central Laser Facility, located near the center of the observatory site, having an optical signature comparable to that of the highest energy showers detected by the FD. This paper presents two procedures developed to retrieve the aerosol attenuation of fluorescence light from CLF laser shots. Cross checks between the two methods demonstrate that results from both analyses are compatible, and that the uncertainties are well understood. The measurements of the aerosol attenuation provided by the two procedures are currently used at the Pierre Auger Observatory to reconstruct air shower data., We are very grateful to the following agencies and organizations for financial support: Comision Nacional de Energia Atomica, Fundacion Antorchas, Gobierno De La Provincia de Mendoza, Municipalidad de Malargue, NDM Holdings and Valle Las Lenas, in gratitude for their continuing cooperation over land access, Argentina; the Australian Research Council; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPq), Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (FINEP), Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ), Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP), Ministerio de Ciencia e Tecnologia (MCT), Brazil; AVCR AV0Z10100502 and AV0Z10100522, GAAV KJB100100904, MSMT-CR LA08016, LC527, 1M06002, MEB111003, and MSM0021620859, Czech Republic; Centre de Calcul IN2P3/CNRS, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Conseil Regional Ile-de-France, Departement Physique Nucleaire et Corpusculaire (PNC-IN2P3/CNRS), Departement Sciences de l'Univers (SDU-INSU/CNRS), France; Bundesministerium fur Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), Finanzministerium Baden-Wurttemberg, Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft Deutscher Forschungszentren (HGF), Ministerium fur Wissenschaft und Forschung, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Ministerium fur Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany; Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Universita e della Ricerca (MIUR), Italy; Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia (CONACYT), Mexico; Ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap, Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), Stichting voor Fundamenteel Onderzoek der Materie (FOM), Netherlands; Ministry of Science and Higher Education, Grant Nos.

31. The origin of cosmic rays of the highest energies

Author: S S Al-Dargazelli, A W Wolfendale, A Smialkowski, and J Wdowczyk
Subjects: Physics, Nuclear and High Energy Physics, Supercluster, Astrophysics::High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena, Energy spectrum, Astronomy, Cosmic ray, Astrophysics::Cosmology and Extragalactic Astrophysics, Astrophysics, Ultra-high-energy cosmic ray, Galactic plane, Astrophysics::Galaxy Astrophysics, Directional anisotropy
Abstract: An analysis is made of the current status of the measurement of the energy spectrum and directional anisotropy of cosmic rays of the highest energy, i.e. above about 1018 eV. All the measurements are consistent with cosmic rays below 1019 eV being largely of Galactic origin and having a small excess in the general direction of the Galactic plane, with those of higher energy having come from extragalactic sources. There is evidence that the extra-galactic particles arrive preferentially from the general direction of the centre of the local supercluster and perhaps from directions towards the Galactic South Pole. The latter result is not understood.

32. Cosmic rays in the Magellanic clouds

Abstract: EGRET data from the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory have been used to determine the flux of gamma rays from the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). When compared with data at other wavelengths it is found that the parents of the gamma rays, the initiating cosmic rays (CRs), are concentrated much more strongly than is the case for the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). A consequence is that unless a single discrete gamma-ray source is responsible, the efficiency of CR production and/or trapping in the SMC is higher than would have been expected on the basis of the LMC results; there is also a hint that the SMC may be relatively richer in CR protons than the LMC.

Abstract: The Pierre Auger Observatory is a facility built to detect air showers produced by cosmic rays above 1017 eV. During clear nights with a low illuminated moon fraction, the UV fluorescence light produced by air showers is recorded by optical telescopes at the Observatory. To correct the observations for variations in atmospheric conditions, atmospheric monitoring is performed at regular intervals ranging from several minutes (for cloud identification) to several hours (for aerosol conditions) to several days (for vertical profiles of temperature, pressure, and humidity). In 2009, the monitoring program was upgraded to allow for additional targeted measurements of atmospheric conditions shortly after the detection of air showers of special interest, e. g., showers produced by very high-energy cosmic rays or showers with atypical longitudinal profiles. The former events are of particular importance for the determination of the energy scale of the Observatory, and the latter are characteristic of unusual air shower physics or exotic primary particle types. The purpose of targeted (or "rapid") monitoring is to improve the resolution of the atmospheric measurements for such events. In this paper, we report on the implementation of the rapid monitoring program and its current status. The rapid monitoring data have been analyzed and applied to the reconstruction of air showers of high interest, and indicate that the air fluorescence measurements affected by clouds and aerosols are effectively corrected using measurements from the regular atmospheric monitoring program. We find that the rapid monitoring program has potential for supporting dedicated physics analyses beyond the standard event reconstruction.

Abstract: The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory can detect neutrinos with energy Eν between 1017 eV and 1020 eV from point-like sources across the sky south of +55º and north of −65º declinations. A search has been performed for highly inclined extensive air showers produced by the interaction of neutrinos of all flavors in the atmosphere (downward-going neutrinos), and by the decay of tau leptons originating from tau neutrino interactions in Earth’s crust (Earth-skimming neutrinos). No candidate neutrinos have been found in data up to 2010 May 31. This corresponds to an equivalent exposure of ∼3.5 years of a full surface detector array for the Earth-skimming channel and ∼2 years for the downward-going channel. An improved upper limit on the diffuse flux of tau neutrinos has been derived. Upper limits on the neutrino flux from point-like sources have been derived as a function of the source declination. Assuming a differential neutrino flux kPS · E−2ν from a point-like source, 90% confidence level upper limits for kPS at the level of ≈5×10−7 and 2.5×10−6 GeV cm−2 s−1 have been obtained over a broad range of declinations from the searches for Earth-skimming and downward-going neutrinos, respectively., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: The advent of the Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) necessitates the development of a powerful framework for the analysis of radio measurements of cosmic ray air showers. As AERA performs ‘‘radio- hybrid’’ measurements of air shower radio emission in coincidence with the surface particle detectors and fluorescence telescopes of the Pierre Auger Observatory, the radio analysis functionality had to be incorporated in the existing hybrid analysis solutions for fluorescence and surface detector data. This goal has been achieved in a natural way by extending the existing Auger Offline software framework with radio functionality. In this article, we lay out the design, highlights and features of the radio extension implemented in the Auger Offline framework. Its functionality has achieved a high degree of sophistication and offers advanced features such as vectorial reconstruction of the electric field, advanced signal processing algorithms, a transparent and efficient handling of FFTs, a very detailed simulation of detector effects, and the read-in of multiple data formats including data from various radio simulation codes. The source code of this radio functionality can be made available to interested parties on request., La lista completa de autores puede consultarse en el documento o en la página web de la revista., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: Data collected at the Pierre Auger Observatory are used to establish an upper limit on the diffuse flux of tau neutrinos in the cosmic radiation. Earth-skimming ντ may interact in the Earth's crust and produce a τ lepton by means of charged-current interactions. The τ lepton may emerge from the Earth and decay in the atmosphere to produce a nearly horizontal shower with a typical signature, a persistent electromagnetic component even at very large atmospheric depths. The search procedure to select events induced by τ decays against the background of normal showers induced by cosmic rays is described. The method used to compute the exposure for a detector continuously growing with time is detailed. Systematic uncertainties in the exposure from the detector, the analysis, and the involved physics are discussed. No τ neutrino candidates have been found. For neutrinos in the energy range 2 × 10¹⁷ eV < Eν < 2 × 10¹⁹ eV, assuming a diffuse spectrum of the form E⁻²ν, data collected between 1 January 2004 and 30 April 2008 yield a 90% confidence-level upper limit of E²νdNντ / dEν < 9 × 10⁻⁸ GeV cm⁻² s⁻¹ sr⁻¹., La lista completa de autores que integran el documento puede consultarse en el archivo., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Instituto de Física La Plata

39. UHECR Anisotropy from Luminous Infrared Galaxies - Predictions for the Pierre Auger Observatory

Author: Maria, Giller, Wojciech, Michalak, and Andrzej, Smialkowski
Subjects: Astrophysics::High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena, Astrophysics (astro-ph), Astrophysics::Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics, FOS: Physical sciences, Astrophysics::Cosmology and Extragalactic Astrophysics, Astrophysics, Astrophysics::Galaxy Astrophysics
Abstract: We consider the hypothesis that luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) are sources of the UHECRs. By associating the AGASA triplet with the Arp 299 galaxy we obtain reasonable values for Galactic and extragalactic magnetic fields. We predict what the southern sky, to be seen by the Auger experiment, should look like, so that the LIRG hypothesis could be verified soon., Comment: Talk given at 28th International Cosmic Ray Conference, Tsukuba, Japan, 31 jul- 7 aug 2003

Abstract: This paper describes the application of an evaporator control system using a multivariable model-free adaptive (MFA) controller. The concept of model-free adaptive control is introduced. The system structure and commissioning steps are discussed. The successful application of controlling this severely coupled nonlinear multivariable process shows the merits of model-free adaptive control, where complex systems can be controlled requiring no quantitative process knowledge, no process identification, no controller design, and no complicated manual tuning.

Abstract: Ultra High Energy (UHE) particles coming from discrete extragalactic sources are potential candidates for EAS events above a few tens of EeV. In particular, galaxies with huge infrared luminosity triggered by collision and merging processes are possible sites of UHECR acceleration. Using the PSCz catalogue of IR galaxies we calculate a large scale anisotropy of UHE protons originating in the population of the luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs). Small angle particle scattering in weak irregular extragalactic magnetic fields as well as deflection by regular Galactic field are taken into account. We give analytical formulae for deflection angles with included energy losses on cosmic microwave background (CMB). The hypotheses of the anisotropic and isotropic distributions of the experimental data above 40 EeV from AGASA are checked, using various statistical tests. We show that on the basis of the small scale clustering analysis there is a much better correlation of the UHECRs data below GZK cut-off with the predictions of the LIRG origin than with those of isotropy. We derive analytical formulae for a probability of a given number of doublets, triplets and quadruplets for any density distribution of independent events on the sky. The famous AGASA UHE triple event is found to be very well correlated on the sky with the brightest extragalactic infrared source within 70 Mpc - merger galaxies Arp 299 (NGC 3690 + IC 694)., Comment: 17 pages, 10 figures, accepted for publ: Journal of Physics G

Abstract: Compatibility studies were designed to verify the utility of a Pharmacia Deltec CADD-LD Microinfusion Pump for the continuous 24 hour infusion of SK&F 106528, a soluble T4 receptor. Included in these studies was a microbial challenge of the reconstituted dosage form containing preservatives to determine whether bacteriostasis could be maintained during the 24 hour dosing regimen. Biological potency assays and spectroscopic techniques were used to determine the compatibility of the dosage form with preservatives as well as the infusion equipment. Microscopy was employed to ascertain whether insoluble protein aggregates formed during dosing. In vitro experiments to determine the ability cf the CADD-LD to deliver the dose against simulated normal blood pressure were performed. Results of all these studies indicated that the microinfusion pump was an effective delivery system for SK&F 106528. These experiments have practical applicability in testing the compatibility of any biopharmaceutical with an infusion pump.

Abstract: Using data collected at the Pierre Auger Observatory during the past 3.7 years, we demonstrated a correlation between the arrival directions of cosmic rays with energy above ~ 6x10^{19} electron volts and the positions of active galactic nuclei (AGN) lying within ~ 75 megaparsecs. We rejected the hypothesis of an isotropic distribution of these cosmic rays with at least a 99% confidence level from a prescribed a priori test. The correlation we observed is compatible with the hypothesis that the highest energy particles originate from nearby extragalactic sources whose flux has not been substantially reduced by interaction with the cosmic background radiation. AGN or objects having a similar spatial distribution are possible sources., Comment: 22 pages, 2 figures

Abstract: The Pierre Auger Observatory is a detector for ultra-high energy cosmic rays. It consists of a surface array to measure secondary particles at ground level and a fluorescence detector to measure the development of air showers in the atmosphere above the array. The ‘‘hybrid” detection mode combines the information from the two subsystems. We describe the determination of the hybrid exposure for events observed by the fluorescence telescopes in coincidence with at least one water-Cherenkov detector of the surface array. A detailed knowledge of the time dependence of the detection operations is crucial for an accurate evaluation of the exposure. We discuss the relevance of monitoring data collected during operations, such as the status of the fluorescence detector, background light and atmospheric conditions, that are used in both simulation and reconstruction., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: To exploit the full potential of radio measurements of cosmic-ray air showers at MHz frequencies, a detector timing synchronization within 1 ns is needed. Large distributed radio detector arrays such as the Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) rely on timing via the Global Positioning System (GPS) for the synchronization of individual detector station clocks. Unfortunately, GPS timing is expected to have an accuracy no better than about 5 ns. In practice, in particular in AERA, the GPS clocks exhibit drifts on the order of tens of ns. We developed a technique to correct for the GPS drifts, and an independent method is used to cross-check that indeed we reach a nanosecond-scale timing accuracy by this correction. First, we operate a “beacon transmitter” which emits defined sine waves detected by AERA antennas recorded within the physics data. The relative phasing of these sine waves can be used to correct for GPS clock drifts. In addition to this, we observe radio pulses emitted by commercial airplanes, the position of which we determine in real time from Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcasts intercepted with a software-defined radio. From the known source location and the measured arrival times of the pulses we determine relative timing offsets between radio detector stations. We demonstrate with a combined analysis that the two methods give a consistent timing calibration with an accuracy of 2 ns or better. Consequently, the beacon method alone can be used in the future to continuously determine and correct for GPS clock drifts in each individual event measured by AERA., La lista completa de autores que integran el documento puede consultarse en el archivo., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Instituto de Física La Plata
