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…
LATTES: a novel detector concept for a gamma-ray experiment in the Southern hemisphere
P. Assis, U. Barres de Almeida, A. Blanco +10
The Large Array Telescope for Tracking Energetic Sources (LATTES), is a novel concept for an array of hybrid EAS array detectors, composed of a Resistive Plate Counter array couple…
LATTES: a new gamma-ray detector concept for South America
P. Assis, U. Barres de Almeida, A. Blanco +10
Currently the detection of Very High Energy gamma-rays for astrophysics rely on the measurement of the Extensive Air Showers (EAS) either using Cherenkov detectors or EAS arrays wi…
Science with e-ASTROGAM (A space mission for MeV-GeV gamma-ray astrophysics)
A. De Angelis, V. Tatischeff, I. A. Grenier +248
e-ASTROGAM (enhanced ASTROGAM) is a breakthrough Observatory space mission, with a detector composed by a Silicon tracker, a calorimeter, and an anticoincidence system, dedicated t…
The importance of muon information on primary mass discrimination of ultra-high energy cosmic rays
D. Supanitsky, A. Tiba, G. Medina-Tanco +7
Several methods can be used to perform statistical inference of primary composition of cosmic rays measured with water Cerenkov detectors as those in use at the Pierre Auger Southe…
