Consequences of a Heavy-Metal Scenario of Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays
Jakub VÃcha, Alena Bakalová, Olena Tkachenko +2
We assume an extreme scenario, in which the arriving cosmic rays are composed of only iron nuclei at energies above , while allowing a fre…

Azimuthal fluctuations and number of muons at the ground in muon-depleted proton air showers at PeV energies
A. Bakalová, R. Conceição, L. Gibilisco +4
Muon counting is an effective strategy for discriminating between gamma and hadron-initiated air showers. However, their detection, which requires shielded detectors, is highly exp…

The SST-1M imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope for gamma-ray astrophysics
C. Alispach, A. Araudo, M. Balbo +63
The SST-1M is a Small-Sized Telescope (SST) designed to provide a cost-effective and high-performance solution for gamma-ray astrophysics, particularly for energies beyond a few Te…
