Design and expected performance of a novel hybrid detector for very-high-energy gamma astrophysics

P. Assis, U. Barres de Almeida, A. Blanco +10

Current detectors for Very-High-Energy -ray astrophysics are either pointing instruments with a small field of view (Cherenkov telescopes), or large field-of-view instruments w…

MARTA: A high-energy cosmic-ray detector concept with high-accuracy muon measurement

P. Abreu, S. Andringa, P. Assis +42

A new concept for the direct measurement of muons in air showers is presented. The concept is based on resistive plate chambers (RPCs), which can directly measure muons with very g…
