Ionization quenching factors and W-values of low-energy H and He ions in Ar gas at low pressure measured with a bulk resistive MICROMEGAS
A. Foresi, G. Antonelli, C. Avanzini +15
The ionization quenching factor, the fraction of an ion's initial kinetic energy lost through ionization in a medium, was measured for H and He ions within the 2.5-5 keV…
Development of the photo-diode subsystem for the HERD calorimeter double-readout
O. Adriani, M. Antonelli, A. Basti +40
The measurement of cosmic-ray individual spectra provides unique information regarding the origin and propagation of astro-particles. Due to the limited acceptance of current space…
The CaloCube calorimeter for high-energy cosmic-ray measurements in space: performance of a large-scale prototype
O. Adriani, A. Agnesi, S. Albergo +45
The direct observation of high-energy cosmic rays, up to the PeV energy region, will increasingly rely on highly performing calorimeters, and the physics performance will be primar…
Tracker-In-Calorimeter (TIC): a calorimetric approach to tracking gamma rays in space experiments
O. Adriani, G. Ambrosi, P. Azzarello +33
A multi-messenger, space-based cosmic ray detector for gamma rays and charged particles poses several design challenges due to the different instrumental requirements for the two k…
The CALOCUBE project for a space based cosmic ray experiment: design, construction, and first performance of a high granularity calorimeter prototype
Adriani O., Albergo S., Auditore L. +48
