Atmospheric effects on cosmic-ray muon rate at high latitude (78.9°N)

M. Abbrescia, C. Avanzini, L. Baldini +71

Since 2019, three scintillator detectors of the EEE collaboration have been continuously measuring cosmic muon rates at 78.9°N at the Ny-Ålesund Research Station (Svalbard). The re…

Electron identification and hadron discrimination using Cherenkov radiation in air and SiPMs

A. Alici, F. Carnesecchi, B. R. Achari +43

This paper presents a method to identify electrons using the Cherenkov light emitted when a charged particle travels in air and photons are detected with a Silicon PhotoMultiplier…
