The Era of Kilometer-Scale Neutrino Detectors

Advances in High Energy Physics, 2013
Neutrino astronomy beyond the Sun was first imagined in the late 1950s; by the 1970s, it was realized that kilometer-scale neutrino detectors were required.

Analytical Model for Estimating the Zenith Angle Dependence of Terrestrial Cosmic Ray Fluxes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
A new model called "PHITS-based Analytical Radiation Model in the Atmosphere (PARMA) version 4.0" was developed to facilitate instantaneous estimation of not only omnidirectional but also angular differential energy spectra of cosmic ray fluxes anywhere ...

The HiSPARC-UK Cosmic Ray Detector [PDF]

Proceedings of The European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics — PoS(EPS-HEP2017), 2018
The international HiSPARC project is a collaboration between schools and academic institutions across Europe in real scientific research, and won the European Physical Society HEP outreach prize in 2007. It was born more than a decade ago in the Netherlands, with ongoing participation of over 100 schools.

Feasibility Study for Application of Digitized Henize Mt. Wilson Michigan Southern Sky Hα$$ \boldsymbol{\alpha} $$ Survey Low‐Dispersive Spectral Plates for Searches for Anomalous and Highly Redshifted Objects

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The goal of this study is to confirm the feasibility of the use of digitized low dispersive MtWilson Michigan Southern Sky Hα$$ \alpha $$ survey astronomical photographic plates for modern astrophysical research. The detection of highly redshifted objects, such as early galaxies and quasars, is fundamental to understanding the universe's ...

Solar panels as cosmic ray detectors [PDF]

Proceedings of Science with the New Generation of High Energy Gamma-ray experiments, 10th Workshop — PoS(Scineghe2014), 2015
Due to fundamental limitations of accelerators, only cosmic rays can give access to centre-ofmass 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.

Marine Isotope Stage 4 glaciation in northern England, UK: Evidence from Victoria Cave, North Yorkshire

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Victoria Cave, north Yorkshire, England, contains a long sequence of Pleistocene clastic sediments and calcite flowstones. Earlier work, using U–Th dating, established that the flowstone units formed in interglacial stages corresponding to Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 13, 11, 9, 7 and 5.

Atmospheric Muons as IceCube Signal

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Muons of energies above 1 TeV produced in cosmic ray induced air showers account for the vast majority of events in IceCube. Its enormous size compared to previous volume detectors translates into an unprecedented amount of statistics for high-energy ...

Geochronological reconstruction of the Lateglacial deglaciation in the Arve Valley (Northern French Alps)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The timing and spatial patterns of glaciers retreat in the Northern French Alps during the Lateglacial (19.0–11.7 ka) remain debated, reflecting discrepancies among available chronological data sets. The complex interactions between major glaciers, such as the Rhône and Arve glaciers to the north and the Isère glacier to the south, represent a

A Scintillator and Radio Enhancement of the IceCube Surface Detector Array [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019
An upgrade of the present IceCube surface array (IceTop) with scintillation detectors and possibly radio antennas is foreseen. The enhanced array will calibrate the impact of snow accumulation on the reconstruction of cosmic-ray showers detected by ...
