NASA ASTRA Initiative White Paper: Space-Based Mission for Ultrahigh Energy Particles
Mauricio Bustamante, Johannes Eser, Ke Fang +9
Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays ( EeV) are the highest-energy particles known, signaling extreme particle processes at work in the universe. However, many aspec…
X-rays Emission: a novel tool to detect Extensive Air Showers
Rodrigo Alberto Torres Saavedra, Caterina Trimarelli, Roberto Aloisio +3
We investigate the feasibility of detecting extensive air showers via their geo-synchrotron X-ray emission from high-altitude platforms. Starting from first principles, we derive a…
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…
Prospects for PBR detection of KM3-230213A-like events
Angela V. Olinto, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Austin Cummings +9
POEMMA-Balloon with Radio (PBR) is a scaled-down version of the Probe Of Extreme Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (POEMMA) design, optimized to be flown as a payload on one of NASA's s…
Scheduling follow-up observations of energetic transients with the neutrino target scheduler (NuTS)
Tobias Heibges, Claire Guépin, Claire Guépin +7
Space missions offer unique opportunities for studying ultra-high-energy (UHE) cosmic rays and neutrinos by leveraging secondary emissions generated by extensive air showers (EAS)…
The Optical and Mechanical Design of POEMMA Balloon with Radio
Eric Mayotte, Austin Cummings, Paul Degarate +12
POEMMA Balloon with Radio (PBR) is a NASA super-pressure balloon mission building toward the proposed Probe Of Extreme Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (POEMMA) dual satellite mission.…
