Transforming DIY Geiger Counter Kits into Muon Detectors for Education and Scientific Exploration

open access: yesParticles
Any Geiger counter can be used as an effective cosmic ray detector on its own. In fact, it is known that even in the absence of a radioactive source, the instrument detects what is known as background radiation, which consists of various types of ...

The importance of atmospheric monitoring at the Pierre Auger Observatory

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
The Pierre Auger Observatory is an ultra-high energy cosmic ray experiment employing a giant surface array of particle detectors together with telescopes to image fluorescence light from extensive air showers in the atmosphere.

Solar panels as cosmic-ray detectors

open access: yes, 2014
Due to fundamental limitations of accelerators, only cosmic rays can give access to centre-of- mass energies more than one order of magnitude above those reached at the LHC. In fact, extreme energy cosmic rays (1018 eV - 1020 eV) are the only possibility to explore the 100 TeV energy scale in the years to come. This leap by one order of magnitude gives

Unraveling the active site cover of coproheme decarboxylase from Listeria monocytogenes

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
During heme biosynthesis in Gram‐positive bacteria, coproheme decarboxylase (ChdC) catalyzes the conversion of four‐propionate substrate coproheme to the two propionate product heme b. Its active site is universally covered by a flexible linking loop. This study identifies an important histidine residue, which stabilizes the loop in a ChdC homolog.

Towards the installation and use of an extended array for cosmic ray detection: The EEE Project

open access: yes, 2009
The Extreme Energy Events (EEE) project started to use an array of cosmic ray telescopes for muon detection, distributed over the italian territory. The use of such telescopes, based on Multigap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPC) allows the study of the ...

Eros as the Meeting of Ecstasies in Christ: The Eucharistic Link between Divine and Human Love in Dionysius the Areopagite

open access: yesInternational Journal of Systematic Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract Dionysius's vision of eros as a meeting of reciprocal ecstasies – where lover and beloved each pass out of themselves and into the other – has often been read as unifying dimensions of love otherwise thought to stand in tension, such as giving and receiving.

Deep-Learning-Based Cosmic-Ray Mass Reconstruction Using the Water-Cherenkov and Scintillation Detectors of AugerPrime

open access: yes
At the highest energies, cosmic rays can be detected only indirectly by the extensive air showers they create upon interaction with the Earth’s atmosphere.

Cosmic Ray Induced Noise in Gravitational Wave Detectors

open access: yes, 1997
Cosmic radiation is capable of depositing significant quantities of energy and momentum in gravitational wave antennas at times that will generally be random with respect to gravitational signals.

Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report the elemental and isotopic abundances of all stable noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in eight particles from asteroid Bennu returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission. We also report nitrogen abundances and isotopic ratios that were analyzed alongside neon and argon in four additional Bennu particles.
