Searching for millicharged particles with 1 kg of Skipper-CCDs using the NuMI beam at Fermilab
Santiago Perez, Dario Rodrigues, Juan Estrada +57
Oscura is a planned light-dark matter search experiment using Skipper-CCDs with a total active mass of 10 kg. As part of the detector development, the collaboration plans to build…
High-Energy Galactic Cosmic Rays (Astro2020 Science White Paper)
Frank G. Schröder, Tareq AbuZayyad, Luis Anchordoqui +19
The origin of the highest energy Galactic cosmic rays is still not understood, nor is the transition to EeV extragalactic particles. Scientific progress requires enhancements of ex…
Detecting ultra-high-energy cosmic rays with prototypes of the Fluorescence detector Array of Single-pixel Telescopes (FAST) in both hemispheres
Shunsuke Sakurai, Justin Albury, Jose Bellido +31
Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), whose energy are beyond , are the most energetic particles we have ever detected. The latest results seem to indicate a…
New method for atmospheric calibration at the Pierre Auger Observatory using FRAM, a robotic astronomical telescope
