Analysis of non-event trigger data of the Pierre Auger Observatory — •Martin Schimassek, Darko Veberič, and Ralph Engel for the Pierre Auger collaboration — Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Deutschland
The Pierre Auger Observatory was built to measure cosmic rays of the highest energies and lowest flux. For this purpose, the 1660 surface detectors of the detector array cover an area of about 3000 km2 and are overlooked by four telescope stations. Additionally to the high energy event data, the time stamps of the triggers of each detector station of the surface array are stored since the beginning of 2016. In this contribution, the potential of this data set with respect to non-standard physics analyses is highlighted. This includes considerations of trigger efficiency for very inclined events, lightning related trigger patterns, and searches for spatially extended events.
