The ANTARES Optical Beacon System
M. Ageron, ANTARES Collaboration
ANTARES is a neutrino telescope being deployed in the Mediterranean Sea. It consists of a three dimensional array of photomultiplier tubes that can detect the Cherenkov light induc…
The data acquisition system for the ANTARES neutrino telescope
J. A. Aguilar, ANTARES collaboration
The ANTARES neutrino telescope is being constructed in the Mediterranean Sea. It consists of a large three-dimensional array of photo-multiplier tubes. The data acquisition system…
First results of the Instrumentation Line for the deep-sea ANTARES neutrino telescope
J. A. Aguilar, ANTARES Collaboration
In 2005, the ANTARES Collaboration deployed and operated at a depth of 2500 m a so-called Mini Instrumentation Line equipped with Optical Modules (MILOM) at the ANTARES site. The v…
Cosmic ray abundance measurements with the CAKE balloon experiment
S. Cecchini, T. Chiarusi, G. Giacomelli +4
We present the results from the CAKE (Cosmic Abundance below Knee Energy) balloon experiment which uses nuclear track detectors. The final experiment goal is the determination of t…
Atmospheric muon background in the ANTARES detector
S. Cecchini, E. Korolkova, A. Margiotta +1
An evaluation of the background due to atmospheric muons in the ANTARES high energy neutrino telescope is presented. Two different codes for atmospheric shower simulation have been…
Time variations in the deep underground muon flux measured by MACRO
Y. Becherini, S. Cecchini, M. Cozzi +15
More than 30 million of high-energy muons collected with the MACRO detector at the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory have been used to search for flux variations of different natur…
Time correlations of high energy muons in an underground detector
Y. Becherini, S. Cecchini, T. Chiarusi +18
We present the result of a search for correlations in the arrival times of high energy muons collected from 1995 till 2000 with the streamer tube system of the complete MACRO detec…
Transmission of light in deep sea water at the site of the Antares neutrino telescope
ANTARES collaboration
The ANTARES neutrino telescope is a large photomultiplier array designed to detect neutrino-induced upward-going muons by their Cherenkov radiation. Understanding the absorption an…
The Sky Polarization Observatory
S. Cortiglioni, G. Bernardi, E. Carretti +28
SPOrt is an ASI-funded experiment specifically designed to measure the sky polarization at 22, 32 and 90 GHz, which was selected in 1997 by ESA to be flown on the International Spa…
The BaR-SPOrt Experiment
M. Zannoni, S. Cortiglioni, G. Bernardi +29
BaR-SPOrt (Balloon-borne Radiometers for Sky Polarisation Observations) is an experiment to measure the linearly polarized emission of sky patches at 32 and 90 GHz with sub-degree…
SPOrt: an Experiment Aimed at Measuring the Large Scale Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization
E. Carretti, S. Cortiglioni, G. Bernardi +24
SPOrt (Sky Polarization Observatory) is a space experiment to be flown on the International Space Station during Early Utilization Phase aimed at measuring the microwave polarized…
Polarization angular spectra of Galactic synchrotron emission on arcminute scales
M. Tucci, E. Carretti, S. Cecchini +5
We study the angular power spectra of the polarized component of the Galactic synchrotron emission in the 28-deg^2 Test Region of the Southern Galactic Plane Survey at 1.4 GHz. The…
Sedimentation and Fouling of Optical Surfaces at the ANTARES Site
ANTARES collaboration
ANTARES is a project leading towards the construction and deployment of a neutrino telescope in the deep Mediterranean Sea. The telescope will use an array of photomultiplier tubes…
The angular power spectra of polarized Galactic synchrotron
