Ground-based Observations of TeV Cosmic Rays using Direct Cerenkov Radiation
A new method for making high-resolution ground-based measurements of the energy and charge of cosmic ray primaries in the region of the knee is presented. The method exploits the direct component of Cerenkov radiation emitted by cosmic ray nuclei prior to their first hadronic interaction in the atmosphere. A dedicated ground-based Direct Cerenkov detector could achieve model-independent charge ...
متن کاملTeV Gamma - Ray Observations and the Origin of Cosmic Rays
The present final part of a triad of plenary talks on the results of high energy gamma-ray astronomy and the origin of Cosmic Rays is primarily devoted to the physics interpretation. I will start with the stereoscopic method of operating several imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes in coincidence as pioneered by HEGRA, and a summary description of the results obtained. Then I will turn to t...
متن کاملGeV-TeV Galactic cosmic rays
This short review aims at presenting the way we currently understand, model, and constrain the transport of cosmic rays in the GeV-TeV energy domain. This is a research field per se, but is also an important tool e.g. to improve our understanding of the cosmic-ray sources, of the diffuse non-thermal Galactic emissions (from radio wavelengths to gamma-rays), or in searches for dark matter annihi...
متن کاملDirect Measurements of Cosmic Rays
An overview is presented of the scientific implications of direct measurements of cosmic rays in terms of the origins and history of these particles. Within the last several years important constraints have been placed on the possible origins of cosmic rays in the GeV energy range by the analysis of isotopic composition. At higher energies new magnet experiments to measure elemental composition...
متن کاملGround Based Measurements of Galactic and Solar Cosmic Rays
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The global network of ground based neutron monitors and muon telescopes constitutes a unique “instrument” in an armada of particle detection and measurement facilities now in space and to be deployed in the future. This network has a particle energy detection threshold of order 500 MeV, extending up to 50 GeV, with a full-sky field of view continuously making dozens of pointed...
