Recent progress in growth of single crystal Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) diamonds of very high purity and high homogeneity has opened new perspectives to UV photosensors dedicated to work optically coupled to next generation two-phase liquid-Ar (LAr) and/or liquid-Xe (LXe) detectors for future neutrino and dark matter experiments. These physical investigations require detectors that...

As a non-imaging wide-angle Cherenkov air shower detector array with
an area of up to 100 km2, HiSCORE (Hundred Square km Cosmic ORigin
Explorer) is built to measure gamma rays and cosmic rays in an
energy range of 10 TeV up to 1EeV. Three stations consisting of light
collector Winston cones equipped with photomultiplier tubes have
already been deployed to Tunka Valley, Russia. The first...

Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are among the most powerful events in the Universe. They have been observed from radio to GeV energies. In the past few years Fermi LAT has shown that GRBs are able to produce photons up to 30 GeV (approx. 90 GeV corrected for redshift for GRB 090902B). It is unknown up to what energy the spectrum extends. Studying the spectrum beyond 10 GeV, is of interest in...

Total cross section measurements at cosmic ray energies can reveal information about the shape of hadronic matter. Recent measurements at cosmic ray energies and at TOTEM/LHC confirm the growth of the total cross section. Based on theoretical investigations it is found that Geometrical picture helps us in having a glimpse of hadronic radii indicating the growth of hadrons at ultrahigh energies.

Detailed simulations of EAS have been carried out with CORSIKA program in order to evaluate the energy brought by different shower components at ground level and transmitted underground. A special attention is given to the angular distributions and to the collimation of beams penetrating deep underground or underwater. The natural collimation of high energy particles in EAS cores results...

In the last few years, very important data on high-energy cosmic-ray electrons and positrons from high-precision space-borne and ground-based experiments have attracted a great deal of interest.These particles represent a unique probe for studying local comic-ray accelerators because they lose energy very efficiently and rapidly by two dominant processes: inverse Compton scattering and...

GRBs have been found within a wide range of power and photon energy spectra. Their understanding was usually seen as the largest explosion, fireball, billion times a SN one. Fireball, by definition were isotropic. Last decades have been an evolution of fire-ball hitting shells in some fountain of tens degree size. I advocated since 1998 a much thinner jet whose solid angle is a part of a...
