Detectors for high-energy messengers from the Universe
arXiv:1912.07473 · doi:10.1016/j.nima.2018.03.020
Abstract
High-energy messengers from the Universe comprise charged cosmic rays, gamma rays and neutrinos. Here we summarise the detection principles and detection schemes for these particles, with a focus on ground-based instruments which employ natural media such as air, ice, or water as their detection medium.
