Selection of Surviving Primary Protons at 4300 m a.s.l. with the ARGO-YBJ experiment
G. Di Sciascio
The primary proton spectrum up to 100 TeV has been investigated by balloon- and satellite-borne instruments. Above this energy range only ground-based air shower arrays can measure…
Measurement of the angular resolution of the ARGO-YBJ detector
G. Di Sciascio, E. Rossi
The ARGO-YBJ experiment is a full coverage EAS-array installed at the YangBaJing Cosmic Ray Laboratory (4300 m a.s.l., Tibet, P.R. China). We present the results on the angular res…
Gamma-Ray Astronomy around 100 TeV with a large Muon Detector operated at Very High Altitude
G. Di Sciascio, T. Di Girolamo, E. Rossi +1
Measurements at 100 TeV and above are an important goal for the next generation of high energy gamma-ray astronomy experiments to solve the still open problem of the origin of gala…
GRBs search results with the ARGO-YBJ experiment operated in Scaler Mode
G. Di Sciascio, T. Di Girolamo
The ARGO-YBJ experiment is almost completely installed at the YangBaJing Cosmic Ray Laboratory (4300 m a.s.l., Tibet, P.R. China). The lower energy limit of the detector (E …
Can gamma-ray bursts constrain quintessence?
T. Di Girolamo, R. Catena, M. Vietri +1
Using the narrow clustering of the geometrically corrected gamma-ray energies released by gamma-ray bursts, we investigate the possibility of using these sources as standard candle…
The ARGO-YBJ sensitivity to GRBs
T. Di Girolamo, G. Di Sciascio, S. Vernetto
ARGO-YBJ is a "full coverage" air shower detector under construction at the YangBaJing Laboratory (4300 m a.s.l., Tibet, P.R. of China). Its main goals are gamma-ray astronomy and…
Identification of showers with the core outside the ARGO-YBJ detector
Giuseppe Di Sciascio, Elvira Rossi
In this paper we present a procedure able to identify and reject showers with the core outside the ARGO-YBJ carpet boundaries. The efficiency of this method is investigated for dif…
Study of the angular resolution of the ARGO-YBJ detector
Giuseppe Di Sciascio, Elvira Rossi
The determination of the arrival direction of gamma-induced air showers in the ARGO-YBJ experiment has been investigated using different algorithms in the reconstruction procedure.…
