1. Measuring the vertical muon intensity with the ALTO prototype at Linnaeus University
University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)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

3. Dark Matter Signatures in Cosmic Gamma-Rays
University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisationAbstract : This thesis concentrates on one of the indirect Dark Matter (DM) detection methods, namely through observations of Very High Energy (VHE) $\gamma$-ray signals from DM annihilation (or decay) in cosmic sources using the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique (IACT). We discuss the particle physics and astrophysical aspects of those observations and perform several calculations which lead to an estimation of the DM detection prospects for IACTs. READ MORE
