Measurement of the cosmic ray flux by an ArduSiPM-based muon telescope in the framework of the Lab2Go project [PDF]
Within Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) outreach activities, the Lab2Go project is of great significance. Its goal is involving high school teachers and students in several laboratory activities, aiming at increasing the weight of ...

A critical note on time in the multiverse [PDF]
In recent analyses of standard, single-universe, cosmology, it was pointed out that specific assumptions regarding the distribution and motion of matter must be made in order to set up the cosmological standard model with a global time parameter. Relying

Ionization in atmospheres of brown dwarfs and extrasolar planets. IV. The effect of cosmic rays [PDF]
Cosmic rays provide an important source for free electrons in Earth's atmosphere and also in dense interstellar regions where they produce a prevailing background ionization. We utilize a Monte Carlo cosmic ray transport model for particle energies of 10(

Triangulating the height of cosmic noise absorption: A method for estimating the characteristic energy of precipitating electrons [PDF]
Energetic electrons (tens to hundreds of keV) deposit significant energy into the D layer of the ionosphere. Riometers provide a means of monitoring this electron precipitation by measuring the associated cosmic noise absorption (CNA), but individually ...

Probing the high latitude ionosphere from ground-based observations: The state of current knowledge and capabilities during IPY (2007-2009) [PDF]
During the International Polar Year (IPY), one area of great interest is co-coordinated, multi-instrument probing of the ionosphere at high latitudes. This region is important not only for the applications that rely upon our understanding of it, but also

The attenuation of atmospheric Cerenkov photons [PDF]
Whilst the atmosphere places a limit on the successful applications of many branches of astronomy, it becomes an invaluable tool for the detection of very high energy γ-rays. This thesis is concerned with reducing the systematic uncertainties inherent to
