Science with the new generation high energy gamma- ray experiments
M. Alvarez, D. D'Armiento, G. Agnetta +197
This Conference is the fifth of a series of Workshops on High Energy Gamma- ray Experiments, following the Conferences held in Perugia 2003, Bari 2004, Cividale del Friuli 2005, El…
Correlation of the highest-energy cosmic rays with the positions of nearby active galactic nuclei
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
Data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory provide evidence for anisotropy in the arrival directions of the cosmic rays with the highest energies, which are correlated with the…
GAW - An Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope with Large Field of View
G. Cusumano, G. Agnetta, A. Alberdi +47
GAW, acronym for Gamma Air Watch, is a Research and Development experiment in the TeV range, whose main goal is to explore the feasibility of large field of view Imaging Atmospheri…
Gamma/hadron separation in IACTs using 3D EAS variables
S. Andringa, P. Assis, M. Pimenta +2
A new approach to Gamma/Hadron separation algorithms is proposed. The differences between Gamma and Hadron showers are notorious in two main aspects. The first is the wideness of t…
Gamma Air Watch (GAW): the electronics and trigger concept
P. Assis, G. Agnetta, P. Brogueira +9
GAW proposes a new approach for the detection and measurement of the Cherenkov light produced by GeV/TeV gamma rays traversing the Earth atmosphere which imposes specific requireme…
Detection of the Cherenkov light diffused by Sea Water with the ULTRA Experiment
G. Agnetta, P. Assis, B. Biondo +26
The study of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays represents one of the most challenging topic in the Cosmic Rays and in the Astroparticle Physics fields. The interaction of primary parti…
Expected performance of the GAW Cherenkov Telescopes Array. Simulation and Analysis
M. C. Maccarone, P. Assis, O. Catalano +8
GAW is a "path-finder" experiment to test the feasibility of a new generation of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes that join high flux sensitivity with large field of view c…
Results from the ULTRA experiment in the framework of the EUSO project
G. Agnetta, P. Assis, B. Biondo +27
The detection of Cerenkov light from EAS in a delayed coincidence with fluorescence light gives a strong signature to discriminate protons and neutrinos in cosmic rays. For this pu…
