The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), currently under construction, is the next-generation very-high-energy gamma-ray observatory, providing the coverage for photons in enegy range 20 GeV to 300 TeV. CTA will increase detection sensitivity in the 100 GeV to 10 TeV range for a factor of 5 − 10 with respect to present experiments. It retrieves the properties of very-high-energy gamma-rays by...
The Pierre Auger Observatory is a large-scale experiment for the investigation of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. A combination of Surface Detector and Fluorescence Detector is used to measure the extensive air showers that are initiated by cosmic ray particles.
Aeolus is a satellite that is operated by the ESA with the purpose of making wind profile measurements on a global scale. To this...
The Telescope Array (TA) experiment detects airshowers induced by ultra high energy cosmic rays. The atmospheric Fluorescence telescopic Detector(FD) observes cosmic ray airshower, which is incident very far from the telescope. The observation does not take place in overcast night. However, the cloud status changes quickly and sometimes there are some isolated clouds. For airshower...
Cosmic radiation is a potential additional tool for atmospheric monitoring. High-energy cosmic rays, interacting in atmosphere, produce secondary particles, the production and propagation of which is ruled by the state of the atmosphere. In particular, atmospheric muons carry information on the stratosphere, as its temperature modulates their intensity.
We present a comprehensive...
The Fluorescence detector Array of Single-pixel Telescopes (FAST) is a design for a next-generation ground-based ultra-high energy cosmic ray observatory, addressing the requirements for a large-area, low-cost detector suitable for measuring the properties of the highest energy cosmic rays with an unprecedented aperture. Three telescope prototypes are installed nearby the fluorescence...
The Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO) is a proposed gamma-ray observatory based on the ground-level particle detection technique, with close to 100% duty cycle and an order of steradian field of view. SWGO will be located in South America at a latitude between 10 and 30 degrees south and an altitude of 4.4 km or higher, covering an energy range from hundreds of GeV to PeV. The...
