JEM-EUSO Science Objectives
Gustavo Medina-Tanco, K. Asano, D. Cline +10
JEM-EUSO, on board of the Japanese Exploration Module of the International Space Station, is being proposed as the first space observatory devoted to UHECR. Its privileged position…
Studying individual UHECR sources with high statistics
Gustavo Medina-Tanco
One of the main impacts of the JEM-EUSO mission will come from its unprecedented exposure. This feature creates, for the first time in the field, the possibility of studying indivi…
BATATA: A device to characterize the punch-through observed in underground muon detectors and to operate as a prototype for AMIGA
Gustavo Medina-Tanco
BATATA is a hodoscope comprising three X-Y planes of plastic scintillation detectors. This system of buried counters is complemented by an array of 3 water-Cherenkov detectors, loc…
Hadron-gamma discrimination from an orbital UHECR observatory
A. D. Supanitsky, G. Medina-Tanco, K. Asano +10
The identification of very high energy photons is of great importance for the understanding of the origin of extreme energy cosmic rays (EECR). Several can be the sources of high e…
On the statistical effects of multiple reusing of simulated air showers in detector simulations
A. D. Supanitsky, G. Medina-Tanco
The simulations of extensive air showers as well as the detectors involved in their detection play a fundamental role in the study of the high energy cosmic rays. At the highest en…
Development of neutrino initiated cascades at mid and high altitudes in the atmosphere
A. D. Supanitsky, G. Medina-Tanco, K. Asano +9
Neutrinos are a very promising messenger at tens of EeV and above. They can be produced by several channels, namely as by products of hadronic interactions at the sources, as the m…
