Space Debris Detection and Tracking with the Techniques of Cosmic Ray Physics [PDF]

Proceedings of 36th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2019), 2019
Space Debris (SD) consist of non-operational artificial objects orbiting around the Earth, which could possibly damage space vehicles, such as the International Space Station (ISS) or other manned spacecrafts. The vast majority of such objects are cm-sized, not catalogued and usually the tracking data are not precise enough.

The use of paleo-detectors to investigate cosmic-ray fluxes throughout the history of Earth [PDF]

, 2023
The measurement of the flux of cosmic rays in the past could give some important information about the sources of cosmic rays, the evolution of the neighborhood of the Solar System in the Galaxy and the Galaxy itself.

A BREMSSTRAHLUNG-IDENTIFICATION TECHNIQUE FOR COSMIC-RAY ELECTRONS and POSITRONS [PDF]

Nuclear Instruments and Methods, 1974
Abstract We introduce a new technique to separate energetic e + and e − from a background of other particles. The technique utilizes a selective trigger, radiation of bremsstrahlung photons by incident e ± , magnetic deflection of the e ± after photon emission, and the separate detection of both the e ± and the photons in a shower detector ...

Air Shower Detection by Arrays of Radio Antennas [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019
Antenna arrays are beginning to make important contributions to high energy astroparticle physics supported by recent progress in the radio technique for air showers. This article provides an update to my more extensive review published in Prog.

Primary gamma ray selection in a hybrid timing/imaging Cherenkov array

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
This work is a methodical study on hybrid reconstruction techniques for hybrid imaging/timing Cherenkov observations. This type of hybrid array is to be realized at the gamma-observatory TAIGA intended for very high energy gamma-ray astronomy (> 30 TeV).

Cosmic-Ray Tomography for Border Security

Instruments, 2023
A key task for customs workers is the interception of hazardous, illegal and counterfeit items in order to protect the health and safety of citizens. However, it is estimated that only a small fraction of cargo is inspected and an even smaller fraction ...

Translating aboveground cosmic-ray neutron intensity to high-frequency soil moisture profiles at sub-kilometer scale [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014
Above-ground cosmic-ray neutron measurements provide an opportunity to infer soil moisture at the sub-kilometer scale. Initial efforts to assimilate those measurements have shown promise.

New approaches for gamma-hadron separation at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2023
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory located at the geographic South Pole is composed of two detectors. One is the in-ice optical array, which measures high-energy muons from air showers and charged particles produced by the interaction of high-energy ...
