Outdoor Systems Performace and Upgrade
L. Lopes, S. Andringa, P. Assis +17
Over the last two decades, the possibility of using RPCs in outdoors systems has increased considerably. Our group has participated in this effort having installed several systems…
The Mercedes water Cherenkov detector
P. Assis, A. Bakalová, U. Barres de Almeida +13
The concept of a small, single-layer water Cherenkov detector, with three photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), placed at its bottom in a star configuration (\emph{Mercedes}…
Towards Sealed Resistive Plate Chambers
L. Lopes P. Assis, A. Blanco, P. Fonte +1
The mitigation of human-induced climate change is of crucial importance for the sustainability of humankind. For this aim the RPC community has exerted considerable effort over the…
MARTA: A high-energy cosmic-ray detector concept with high-accuracy muon measurement
P. Abreu, S. Andringa, P. Assis +42
A new concept for the direct measurement of muons in air showers is presented. The concept is based on resistive plate chambers (RPCs), which can directly measure muons with very g…
Outdoor Field Experience with Autonomous RPC Based Stations
L. Lopes, P. Assis, A. Blanco +12
In the last two decades Resistive Plate Chambers were employed in the Cosmic Ray Experiments COVER-PLASTEX and ARGO/YBJ. In both experiments the detectors were housed indoors, like…
Prototype muon detectors for the AMIGA component of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +451
Auger Muons and Infill for the Ground Array) is an upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory to extend its range of detection and to directly measure the muon content of the particle…
