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)…
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…
The simulation chain for the Terzina Cherenkov telescope on board the NUSES space mission
M. Abdullahi, R. Aloisio, F. Arneodo +74
The Terzina telescope is designed to detect ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) and Earth-skimming neutrinos from a 550 km low-Earth orbit (LEO) by observing Cherenkov light emi…
