Quality Control of High-Speed Photon Detectors [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2019
High-speed-photon detectors are some of the most important tools for observations of high energy cosmic rays. As technologies of photon detectors and their read-out electronics improved rapidly, the time resolution of some cosmic ray detectors became ...

Cosmic Rays with the LEP detectors [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 2003
The LEP detectors are well suited for different studies on cosmic ray induced muons. In here, several aspects of the muon spectrum are reported. The vertical as well as the zenith-angle dependence of both the absolute muon spectrum and the muon charge ratio have been measured.

Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Low temperature detectors have been a subject of intense interest to the scientific community over the last decade. These detectors work at very low temperatures, often well below 1 Kelvin, to minimize the noise in the measurement of photons.

Highlights from the Telescope Array Experiment

open access: yesSciPost Physics Proceedings, 2023
The Telescope Array (TA) is the largest hybrid cosmic ray detector in the Northern Hemisphere, which observes primary particles in the energy range from 2 PeV to 100 EeV.

SOLAR SYSTEM OBJECTS AS COSMIC RAYS DETECTORS [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2014
In a recent Letter (Rimmer et al. 2014), Jupiter is presented as an efficient detector for Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs), through measurement by an Earth-orbiting satellite of gamma rays from UHECRs showers produced in Jupiter's atmosphere.

Electrochemical etching processes for the detection of neutrons and radon-decay products [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2004
The electrochemical etching, because of its complexity, is of interest when it makes it possible to achieve detection characteristics which are not encountered with the chemical etching.

Detectors for cosmic rays on ground and in Space [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2007
The origin of the cosmic rays has been a great mystery since they were discovered by Victor Hess in 1912. AGASA's observation of ultra-high-energy cosmic-rays (UHECR) possibly beyond the GZK (Greisen, Zatsepin and Kuzmin) cutoff stimulated the field in great deal.

An orientable time-of-flight detector for cosmic rays [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2008
Cosmic ray studies, in particular UHECR, can be in general supported by a directional, easy deployable, simple and robust detector. The design of this detector is based on the time of flight between two parallel tiles of scintillator, to distinguish particle passing through in opposite directions; by fine time resolution and pretty adjustable ...
