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…
Measurement of energy flow, cross section and average inelasticity of forward neutrons produced in proton-proton collisions with the LHCf Arm2 detector
O. Adriani, E. Berti, L. Bonechi +20
In this paper, we report the measurement of the energy flow, the cross section and the average inelasticity of forward neutrons (+ antineutrons) produced in TeV pro…
Light yield non-proportionality of inorganic crystals and its effect on cosmic-ray measurements
O. Adriani, E. Berti, P. Betti +23
The multi-TeV energy region of the cosmic-ray spectra has been recently explored by direct detection experiments that used calorimetric techniques to measure the energy of the cosm…
CaloCube: a novel calorimeter for high-energy cosmic rays in space
P. W. Cattaneo, O. Adriani, S. Albergo +43
In order to extend the direct observation of high-energy cosmic rays up to the PeV region, highly performing calorimeters with large geometrical acceptance and high energy resoluti…
The CaloCube calorimeter for high-energy cosmic-ray measurements in space: performance of a large-scale prototype
O. Adriani, A. Agnesi, S. Albergo +45
The direct observation of high-energy cosmic rays, up to the PeV energy region, will increasingly rely on highly performing calorimeters, and the physics performance will be primar…
Tracker-In-Calorimeter (TIC): a calorimetric approach to tracking gamma rays in space experiments
O. Adriani, G. Ambrosi, P. Azzarello +33
A multi-messenger, space-based cosmic ray detector for gamma rays and charged particles poses several design challenges due to the different instrumental requirements for the two k…
