Extended Energy Spectrum Measurements Of Elements With The Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS)
We describe a multiple dE/dx technique used to identify particles that penetrate through the bottom of the CRIS instrument, significantly extending the measured energy ranges for major elements beyond that for stopping particles. In preliminary analysis, the upper energy limit for oxygen has been extended from ∼240 MeV/nuc for stopping particles to ∼ 410 MeV/nuc for penetrating particles, and t...
متن کاملTime Delays in Cosmic Ray Propagation
Cosmic Rays (CR) travel at speeds essentially indistinguishable from the speed of light. However whilst travelling through magnetic fields, both regular and turbulent, they are delayed behind the light since they are usually charged particles and their paths are not linear. Those delays can be so long that they are an impediment to correctly identifying sources which may be variable in time. Fu...
متن کاملA Hard X - Ray Spectrometer for High Angular Resolution Observations of Cosmic Sources
LAXRIS (large area x-ray imaging spectrometer) is an experimental, balloon-borne, hard x-ray telescope that consists of a realigned array of x-ray imaging spectrometer modules capable of obtaining high angular resolution (1-3 arcminutes) with moderate energy resolution in the 20to 300-keV region. Each spectrometer module consists of a CsI(Na) crystal coupled to a position-sensitive phototube wi...
متن کاملTransient Gamma-Ray Spectrometer
Visible afterglow counterparts have now been detected for two GRBs (970228 and 970508) but are absent, with Lopt/Lγ ratios at least two orders of magnitude lower, for other GRBs, e.g., 970828. The causes of this variation are unknown. Any correspondence which could be discovered between the γ-ray properties of a GRB and its Lopt/Lγ would be useful, both in determining the GRB mechanisms, and in...
