Search for Ultra-High Energy Photons with the Pierre Auger Observatory
Abstract
Data taken at the Pierre Auger Observatory are used to search for air showers initiated by ultra-high energy (UHE) photons. The results of searches for UHE photons are reported from hybrid observations (fluorescence and array detectors). Additionally, using the larger data set from the array detectors alone, a more stringent test of predicted large photon fluxes is presented.
