Extending the Lorentz Factor Range and Sensitivity of Transition Radiation with Compound Radiators

Autor: Samer T. Alnussirat, Michael L. Cherry

Transition radiation detectors (TRDs) have been used to identify high-energy particles (in particular, to separate electrons from heavier particles) in accelerator experiments. In space, they have been used to identify cosmic-ray electrons and measur

An abrupt slowdown for particles on the fast track

Forty years ago, it was predicted that there would be a sharp cutoff in the intensity of the very-high-energy cosmic rays that strike the earth’s surface. Two collaborations—the HiRes and Auger telescopes—are providing compelling evidence for t

The Crab Nebula is the only hard X-ray source in the sky that is both bright enough and steady enough to be easily used as a standard candle. As a result, it has been used as a normalization standard by most X-ray/gamma ray telescopes. Although small

Neutrino astronomy on the moon—practical considerations

Autor: Michael L. Cherry

Publikováno v: AIP Conference Proceedings.

Observations of neutrinos from extraterrestrial sources offer the opportunity to study astrophysical regions which are otherwise unobservable, and provide (in principle) an extremely clean probe of high energy hadronic acceleration processes. Detecto
