A large fraction of uncertainty for the interpretation of data from imaging Cerenkov telescopes originates from the use of static average atmosphere models. We present an alternative approach to this issue.
As part of the entrance fee to the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Austrian universities developed software modules for various projects, called in-kind projects, dealing with the...

Between the experiments in operation, including Auger and Telescope array, planned upgrades to Auger and TA, and activities in progress to realize JEM-EUSO and CTA, there is a growing interest in the design and applications of laser systems for optical astroparticle observatories. There are no particle test beams at EeV energies. Laser systems placed in the field have a history of providing a...

The optical properties of the troposphere are quite important for ultra-high energy cosmic ray observatories that use the atmosphere as a giant calorimeter. To estimate the energy of a cosmic ray extensive air shower (EAS), the amount of UV scintillation light generated by an EAS (air fluorescence) can be measured, and, the optical transparency of the atmosphere affects the amount of UV light...

Last year, the air shower simulation model CORSIKA had a major release opening new windows in term of uncertainty due to hadronic interaction models and of simulation time. On the one hand, the two hadronic models EPOS and QGSJETII were updated taking into account new LHC data. As a consequence the uncertainties in air shower observables were reduced by about a factor of 2 at the highest...
