  1. 1. Measuring the vertical muon intensity with the ALTO prototype at Linnaeus University

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

    Author : Magnus Norén; [2021]
    Keywords : Muon Intensity; ALTO; CoMET; Cosmic Rays; VHE Gamma Rays; Extensive Air Shower; Water Cherenkov Detector; Scintillation Detector; Monte Carlo Simulation; GEANT4;

    Abstract : ALTO is a project, currently in the research and development phase, with the goal of constructing a Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray observatory in the southern hemisphere. It will detect the particle content reaching the ground from the interactions of either VHE gamma rays or cosmic rays in the atmosphere known as extensive air showers. READ MORE

    Keywords : ALTO; Cosmic-Rays; Water Cherenkov Detector; Python;

    Abstract : This thesis describes a timing calibration method for the detector array of the ALTO experiment. ALTO is a project currently at the prototype phase that aims to build a gamma-ray astronomical observatory at high-altitude in the Southern hemisphere. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation Analysis of the UV-detector on the Mini-EUSO Space Telescope

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Matej Lukanovic; [2018]
    Keywords : Mini-EUSO; EUSO; Space Telescope;

    Abstract : Extragalactic charged particles, each with energies rising up to and beyond 1 Joule, have been studied for almost a century. Yet, no precise evidence have proven to show where they might originate from as their energy levels rise above the current familiar acceleration sources in outer space. READ MORE

  5. 4. Bachelor Thesis in UHECR detection and the JEM-EUSO mission

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Beshoory Firas; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The interest in high-energy astrophysics and to venture beyond the standard model has driven theoretical and experimental physicists around the world to collaborate and buildthe necessary instrumentation to test out all the different theories in particle physics. Energies up to 14 TeV have been thoroughly investigated so far by colliding protons in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). READ MORE
