Charge-dependent spectral softenings of primary cosmic-rays below the knee
DAMPE Collaboration, Francesca Alemanno, Qi An +146
In most particle acceleration or propagation theories, the characteristic features of the cosmic ray spectra due to acceleration limits or propagation phase changes are charge depe…
Observations of Forbush Decreases of cosmic ray electrons and positrons with the Dark Matter Particle Explorer
Francesca Alemanno, Qi An, Philipp Azzarello +146
The Forbush Decrease (FD) represents the rapid decrease of the intensities of charged particles accompanied with the coronal mass ejections (CMEs) or high-speed streams from corona…
Design and Performance of the Prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope Camera
Colin B. Adams, Giovanni Ambrosi, Michelangelo Ambrosio +86
The prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (pSCT) is a candidate for a medium-sized telescope in the Cherenkov Telescope Array. The pSCT is based on a novel dual mirror optics de…
