Design and construction of a new detector to measure ultra-low radioactive-isotope contamination of argon

The DarkSide Collaboration, C. E. Aalseth, S. Abdelhakim +328

Large liquid argon detectors offer one of the best avenues for the detection of galactic weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) via their scattering on atomic nuclei. The liq…

Calibration of the Logarithmic-Periodic Dipole Antenna (LPDA) Radio Stations at the Pierre Auger Observatory using an Octocopter

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +402

An in-situ calibration of a logarithmic periodic dipole antenna with a frequency coverage of 30 MHz to 80 MHz is performed. Such antennas are part of a radio station system used fo…

Nuclear astrophysics with radioactive ions at FAIR

R. Reifarth, S. Altstadt, K. Göbel +317

The nucleosynthesis of elements beyond iron is dominated by neutron captures in the s and r processes. However, 32 stable, proton-rich isotopes cannot be formed during those proces…

A phenomenological model of the muon density profile on the ground of very inclined air showers

Hans Dembinski, Pierre Billoir, Olivier Deligny +1

Ultra-high energy cosmic rays generate extensive air showers in Earth's atmosphere. A standard approach to reconstruct the energy of an ultra-high energy cosmic rays is to sample t…
