  1. Auger Northern Observatory James W. Cronin SOCoL Trondheim June 16, 2009

  2. Exposure ~ 17000 km2-yr 2.3 x PRL Zenith angle ≤ 600

  3. ~20 events/year ->

  4. Ralph Engel

  5. Auger North - 10 yr ~1,400 events E > 60 EeV Several events per source Auger South – 10 yr ~200 events E > 60 EeV

  6. 1 PMT per tank

  7. Apertures & Energy Threshold Auger North Anisotropies

  8. Angular resolution basically depends on number of triggered tanks. Evaluate from real events excluding tanks to approximate a sparser array Do a Monte Carlo Simulation

  9. Ioana Maris

  10. R & D array in Lamar Colorado 10 tanks Technical Issues: Single PMT (checked in south) Insulation of tanks Communications

  11. END
