The High-Energy Light Isotope eXperiment (HELIX) Instrument
P. S. Allison, M. Baiocchi, J. J. Beatty +27
The HELIX detector is a balloon-borne instrument designed to measure the flux of light (Z < 11) cosmic-ray isotopes. In this paper we describe the initial configuration of HELIX, o…
The High Energy Light Isotope eXperiment program of direct cosmic-ray studies
HELIX Collaboration, S. Coutu, P. S. Allison +27
HELIX is a new NASA-sponsored instrument aimed at measuring the spectra and composition of light cosmic-ray isotopes from hydrogen to neon nuclei, in particular the clock isotopes…
Electron-beam Calibration of Aerogel Tiles for the HELIX RICH Detector
P. Allison, M. Baiocchi, J. J. Beatty +21
The HELIX cosmic-ray detector is a balloon-borne instrument designed to measure the flux of light isotopes in the energy range from 0.2 GeV/n to beyond 3 GeV/n. It will rely on a r…
Design and Performance of the Prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope Camera
Colin B. Adams, Giovanni Ambrosi, Michelangelo Ambrosio +86
The prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (pSCT) is a candidate for a medium-sized telescope in the Cherenkov Telescope Array. The pSCT is based on a novel dual mirror optics de…
Design and performance of the prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope camera
C. B. Adams, G. Ambrosi, M. Ambrosio +71
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next-generation ground-based observatory for very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy. An innovative 9.7 m aperture, dual-mirror Schwarzschil…
Detection of the Crab Nebula with the 9.7 m Prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope
C. B. Adams, R. Alfaro, G. Ambrosi +105
The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a telescope concept proposed for the Cherenkov Telescope Array. It employs a dual-mirror optical design to remove comatic aberrations ov…
