Extensive Air Showers and Cosmic Ray Physics above 1017 eV

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
Cosmic Rays above 1017 eV allow studying hadronic interactions at energies that can not be attained at accelerators yet. At the same time hadronic interaction models have to be applied to the cosmic-ray induced air-shower cascades in atmosphere to infer ...

Fiscal grievance politics: wealth taxation and master‐race democracy in post‐coup Bolivia Politique des griefs fiscaux : impôt sur la fortune et démocratie de la race maîtresse en Bolivie post‐coup d’État

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article analyses a new wealth tax (the IGF) in Bolivia against the backdrop of the 2019 ousting of former president Evo Morales. In doing so, it engages calls for ‘a return to politics’ in anthropology by proposing the notion of a ‘fiscal grievance politics’ as animating elite opposition to the tax in lowland Santa Cruz department. I show that the

Observation of microwave emission from extensive air showers with CROME

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
We report on the measurement of microwave radio signals from air showers with the CROME (Cosmic Ray Observation via Microwave Emission) experiment. CROME is located in the center of the KASCADE-Grande air shower array.

The Gender of Fossil Fuels: Oil and Domestic Perils in Mandate Palestine

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the gender dynamics behind the rise of kerosene – an oil derivative – as the main domestic fuel in Mandate Palestine. It argues that these dynamics were constitutive in determining who began to use oil, where and for what purposes, in turn demonstrating that women in Palestine were the promoters and targets of a campaign ...

Effect of multiple reusing of simulated air showers in detector simulations

, 2009
The study of high energy cosmic rays requires detailed Monte Carlo simulations of both, extensive air showers and the detectors involved in their detection. In particular, the energy calibration of several experiments is obtained from simulations.

‘The Good Couscous That Pleases Us!’: The Meanings of Enduring Imperialist Imagery in Postcolonial French Food Advertising, 1970–2000

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines a wave of Orientalism‐inspired food commercials that appeared on television in France between 1975 and 2000. Older commercials for couscous were more banal, emphasizing a given product's superiority or affordability. Around 1975, however, there was a concerted shift in the advertising; new spots contained exoticized ...

Search for high-energy gamma-ray emissionand upgrade of the GAMMA experiment on Mt. Aragats

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
We present the current status of the search for possible diffuse orlocalized gamma-ray emission at energies above about 100 TeV with the GAMMA air shower detector which is located at 3200 m a.s.l. on Mt. Aragats, Armenia.

Extensive air showers (HE-4) [PDF]

Ultra high energy (UHE) gamma ray astronomy is an exciting area which has added a new sense of purpose to ground based array work. There is much to be done before UHE gamma ray showers can be understood properly and it is important to remain conservative

SELFAS2 : radio emission from cosmic ray air showers. Effect of realistic air refractive index

, 2012
Using the simulation code SELFAS2, we present predictions of the radio signal emitted by extensive air showers (EAS) during their development in the atmosphere.

Future neutrino + Extensive Air Shower challenges [PDF]

Proceedings of INFN Workshop on Future Detectors — PoS(IFD2015), 2017
“Multimessenger” astrophysics, connecting traditional astronomy with cosmic ray (CR),γ -ray and neutrino observations, is a new branch of physics connecting particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. It is made possible by the availability of experimental techniques and detectors developed for high-energy physics.
