The SPHERE-2 detector for observation of extensive air showers in 1 PeV -- 1 EeV energy range

R. A. Antonov, E. A. Bonvech, D. V. Chernov +6

The SPHERE-2 balloon-borne detector designed for extensive air shower (EAS) observations using EAS optical Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation (``Cherenkov light''), reflected from the sno…

Spatial and temporal structure of EAS reflected Cherenkov light signal

R. A. Antonov, E. A. Bonvech, D. V. Chernov +4

A compact device lifted over the ground surface might be used to observe optical radiation of extensive air showers (EAS). Here we consider spatial and temporal characteristics of…

Event-by-event study of CR composition with the SPHERE experiment using the 2013 data

R. A. Antonov, T. V. Aulova, E. A. Bonvech +7

We present an event-by-event study of cosmic ray (CR) composition with the reflected Cherenkov light method. The fraction of CR light component above 5 PeV was reconstructed using…

Results and prospects on registration of reflected Cherenkov light of EAS from cosmic particles above 10^{15} eV

R. A. Antonov, T. V. Aulova, E. A. Bonvech +7

We give an overview of the SPHERE experiment based on detection of reflected Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation (Cherenkov light) from extensive air showers in the energy region E>10^{15}…

Status of the SPHERE experiment

R. A. Antonov, S. P. Beschapov, E. A. Bonvech +11

Here is presented the current state of the SPHERE-2 balloon-borne experiment. The detector is elevated up to 1 km above the snow surface and registers the reflected Vavilov-Cherenk…

Results on the primary CR spectrum and composition reconstructed with the SPHERE-2 detector

R. A. Antonov, S. P. Beschapov, E. A. Bonvech +11

First preliminary results of the balloon-borne experiment SPHERE-2 on the all-nuclei primary cosmic rays (PCR) spectrum and primary composition are presented. The primary spectrum…
