Development of the photo-diode subsystem for the HERD calorimeter double-readout
O. Adriani, M. Antonelli, A. Basti +40
The measurement of cosmic-ray individual spectra provides unique information regarding the origin and propagation of astro-particles. Due to the limited acceptance of current space…
The Gravitational Universe
The eLISA Consortium, :, P. Amaro Seoane +158
The last century has seen enormous progress in our understanding of the Universe. We know the life cycles of stars, the structure of galaxies, the remnants of the big bang, and hav…
Performance assessment of the HERD calorimeter with a photo-diode read-out system for high-energy electron beams
O. Adriani, G. Ambrosi, M. Antonelli +63
The measurement of cosmic rays at energies exceeding 100 TeV per nucleon is crucial for enhancing the understanding of high-energy particle propagation and acceleration models in t…
Characteristics and energy dependence of recurrent galactic cosmic-ray flux depressions and of a Forbush decrease with LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, J. Baird +82
Galactic cosmic-ray (GCR) energy spectra observed in the inner heliosphere are modulated by the solar activity, the solar polarity and structures of solar and interplanetary origin…
Forbush decreases and 2-day GCR flux non-recurrent variations studied with LISA Pathfinder
C. Grimani, M. Armano, H. Audley +82
Non-recurrent short term variations of the galactic cosmic-ray (GCR) flux above 70 MeV n were observed between 2016 February 18 and 2017 July 3 aboard the European Space Age…
