Extensive air showers are a very unique phenomenon. In the more than six decades since
their discovery by Auger and collaborators we have learned a lot about these extremely …

The first sensors of the IceCube neutrino observatory were deployed at the South Pole
during the austral summer of 2004–2005 and have been producing data since February …

The Antarctic Muon And Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA) is a high-energy neutrino
telescope operating at the geographic South Pole. It is a lattice of photo-multiplier tubes …

Abstract The geographic South Pole provides unique opportunities to study cosmic particles
in the Southern Hemisphere. It represents an optimal location to deploy large-scale neutrino …

The recent progress made in Galactic γ-ray astronomy using the High Energy Stereoscopic
System (HESS) instrument provides for the first time a population of Galactic TeV γ-rays, and …

The mass composition of high energy cosmic rays depends on their production,
acceleration, and propagation. The study of cosmic ray composition can therefore reveal …

The observation of a small change in spectral slope, or 'knee'in the fluxes of cosmic rays
near energies 1015 eV has caused much speculation since its discovery over 40 years ago …

An overview is given on the present status of the understanding of the origin of galactic
cosmic rays. Recent measurements of charged cosmic rays and photons are reviewed. Their …

The results of a search for point sources of high energy neutrinos in the northern
hemisphere using data collected by AMANDA-II in the years 2000, 2001, and 2002 are …

This paper describes the search for astronomical sources of high-energy neutrinos using the
AMANDA-B10 detector, an array of 302 photomultiplier tubes used for the detection of …
