Teresa Bister – Search for the sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays
Identifying the sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays with energies >1018 eV is still one of the most fascinating open questions in astroparticle physics. In this VENI proposal, new data obtained by machine learning methods and the AugerPrime upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory, will be leveraged to study the directional distribution of cosmic rays depending on their energies and charges. With that, not only a characterization of the sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays is possible, but also of the intervening cosmic magnetic fields.
