Observations of the Fermi bubbles and the Galactic center excess with the DArk Matter Particle Explorer
F. Alemanno, Q. An, P. Azzarello +145
The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is a space-borne high-energy particle detector that surveys the -ray sky above with a peak acceptance of $\sim 0.2~\rm…
Diverse properties of electron Forbush decreases revealed by the Dark Matter Particle Explorer
F. Alemanno, Q. An, P. Azzarello +147
The Forbush decrease (FD) of cosmic rays is an important probe of the interplanetary environment disturbed by solar activities. In this work, we study the properties of 8 FDs elect…
Performance and radiation damage mitigation strategy for silicon photomultipliers on LEO space missions
L. Burmistrov, S. Davarpanah, M. Heller +13
Space missions require lightweight, low-power consuming, radiation-tolerant components. Silicon photomultipliers are increasingly used for detecting near-UV, optical, and infrared…
Measuring the muon content of inclined air showers using AERA and the water-Cherenkov detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +360
We present a novel approach for assessing the muon content of air showers with large zenith angles on a combined analysis of their radio emission and particle footprint. We use the…
Scaler data from the Pierre Auger Observatory as a proxy of solar activity
C. Taricco, I. Bizzarri, C. Dionese +1
Solar activity variations strongly impact the modulation of the flux of low-energy Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) reaching the Earth. The secondary particles, which originate from the…
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…
