Ground-based detectors in very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy

M. de Naurois, D. Mazin

Following the discovery of the cosmic rays by Victor Hess in 1912, more than 70 years and numerous technological developments were needed before an unambiguous detection of the fir…

Exploiting the geomagnetic distortion of the inclined atmospheric showers

Pierre Billoir, Mariangela Settimo, Miguel Blanco

We propose a novel approach for the determination of the nature of ultra-high energy cosmic rays by exploiting the geomagnetic deviation of muons in nearly horizontal showers. The…

Evidence for self-interaction of charge distribution in charge-coupled devices

A. Guyonnet, P. Astier, P. Antilogus +2

Charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are widely used in astronomy to carry out a variety of measurements, such as for flux or shape of astrophysical objects. The data reduction procedures…
