Advanced detection techniques for educational experiments in cosmic ray physics
2013 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Nuclear Instrumentation, Measurement Methods and their Applications (ANIMMA), 2013In this paper we describe several detection techniques that can be employed to study cosmic ray properties and carry out training activities at high school and undergraduate level. Some of the proposed devices and instrumentation are inherited from professional research experiments, while others were especially developed and marketed for educational ...

Visualization of the Cosmic Rays Using 3D and Augmented Reality Techniques
Proceedings of the XX International Conference on Human Computer Interaction, 2019The cosmic rays are formed mainly by protons and atomic nuclei that originate from extraterrestrial sources and continuously reach Earth's atmosphere. When they reach the atmosphere, they are fragmented into smaller pieces producing cascades of secondary particles.

The Cherenkov technique in cosmic ray experiments
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1999Abstract High energy astroparticle physics research is currently intensified. It connects high energy particle physics with astrophysics and cosmology. In the field of gamma ray astronomy one has revealed in the recent years the first TeV sources. In the 100 GeV to 10 TeV energy range the only high sensitivity instruments are based on the Cherenkov ...

A cosmic-ray spectrograph using the spark chamber technique
Canadian Journal of Physics, 1968In this paper the characteristics of a cosmic-ray spectrograph which uses a solid iron magnet as the deflecting element are described. The particle tracks are registered by six spark chambers having double gaps. These spark chambers are triggered by four layers of G-M counters which are used also for a preselection of the momentum up to 50 GeV/c.

Cosmic ray studies by the emulsion method — techniques and results
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1997The principles of the work of X-ray emulsion calorimeters (XEC) has been described with an example of a calorimeter working at the Pamir. Investigations of the development of cascades in gamma-block and hadron-block of the Pamir XEC have shown wider fluctuations than those expected from the reconstruction of the mass of π0.

A cosmic ray veto system based on the direction of flight technique
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 1989Abstract A study of a veto system efficient on a large surface is reported for those experiments in which rather rare events must be discriminated against the cosmic background. The technique proposed in this paper recognizes the events induced by cosmic rays from the direction of flight (DOF) of the crossing particles.

A new technique for the observation of EeV and ZeV cosmic rays
Astroparticle Physics, 1995We describe a new technique tor the detection of EeV (1018 eV) and ZeV (1021 eV) cosmic rays in the atmosphere. The technique uses the fact that the Cerenkov light emitted by atmospheric extensive showers generated by primaries in this energy range is brighter than the fluctuations in the ambient light of the night sky, even with a full moon present ...
