The Amerigo Vespucci as a traveling laboratory for studying the cosmic-ray fluxes at sea level
Davide Cerasole, Federica Cuna, Gaia De Palma +13
We have installed and operated a plastic scintillator detector counter to measure the flux of cosmic radiation during the 2023-2025 tour of the historical vessel Amerigo Vespucci.…
Development of a Cherenkov-Based Time-of-Flight Detector Using Silicon Photomultipliers
Liliana Congedo, Giuseppe De Robertis, Antonio Di Mauro +11
The aim of this work is to develop high precision Time-of-Flight (TOF) devices based on high refractive index solid Cherenkov radiators read out by silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs)…
Efficient and precise Cherenkov-based charged particle timing using SiPMs
M. N. Mazziotta, A. Di Mauro, M. Giliberti +7
Dedicated R&D efforts are currently underway to couple a thin Cherenkov radiator to Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) arrays for precise charged particle Time-of-Flight (ToF) measurem…
A SiPM-Based RICH Detector with Timing Capabilities for Isotope Identification
M. N. Mazziotta, L. Congedo, G. De Robertis +7
In this work, we present a novel compact particle identification (PID) detector concept based on Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) optimized to perform combined Ring-Imaging Cherenk…
Characterizing Candidate Blazar Counterparts of the Ultra-High-Energy Event KM3-230213A
KM3NeT Collaboration, MessMapp Group, LAT Collaboration +13
High-energy astrophysical neutrinos serve as crucial messengers for understanding hadronic acceleration processes and identifying the origins of cosmic rays, with blazars among the…
Puzzling Variation of Gamma Rays from the Sun over the Solar Cycle Revealed with Fermi-LAT
A. Acharyya, A. Adelfio, M. Ajello +100
The steady-state gamma-ray emission from the Sun is thought to consist of two emission components due to interactions with Galactic cosmic rays: (1) a hadronic disk component, and…
