Spectral Calibration of the Fluorescence Telescopes of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +403
We present a novel method to measure precisely the relative spectral response of the fluorescence telescopes of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We used a portable light source based…
Autonomous RPCs for a Cosmic Ray ground array
Pedro Assis, Alberto Blanco, Nuno Carolino +15
We report on the behaviour of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) developed for muon detection in ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) experiments. The RPCs were developed for the MARTA…
LATTES: a novel detector concept for a gamma-ray experiment in the Southern hemisphere
P. Assis, U. Barres de Almeida, A. Blanco +10
The Large Array Telescope for Tracking Energetic Sources (LATTES), is a novel concept for an array of hybrid EAS array detectors, composed of a Resistive Plate Counter array couple…
LATTES: a new gamma-ray detector concept for South America
P. Assis, U. Barres de Almeida, A. Blanco +10
Currently the detection of Very High Energy gamma-rays for astrophysics rely on the measurement of the Extensive Air Showers (EAS) either using Cherenkov detectors or EAS arrays wi…
