The Mercedes water Cherenkov detector
P. Assis, A. Bakalová, U. Barres de Almeida +13
The concept of a small, single-layer water Cherenkov detector, with three photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), placed at its bottom in a star configuration (\emph{Mercedes}…
MARTA: A high-energy cosmic-ray detector concept with high-accuracy muon measurement
P. Abreu, S. Andringa, P. Assis +42
A new concept for the direct measurement of muons in air showers is presented. The concept is based on resistive plate chambers (RPCs), which can directly measure muons with very g…
Autonomous RPCs for a Cosmic Ray ground array
Pedro Assis, Alberto Blanco, Nuno Carolino +15
We report on the behaviour of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) developed for muon detection in ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) experiments. The RPCs were developed for the MARTA…
Outdoor Field Experience with Autonomous RPC Based Stations
L. Lopes, P. Assis, A. Blanco +12
In the last two decades Resistive Plate Chambers were employed in the Cosmic Ray Experiments COVER-PLASTEX and ARGO/YBJ. In both experiments the detectors were housed indoors, like…
Status of the Silicon Photomultiplier Telescope FAMOUS for the Fluorescence Detection of UHECRs
Tim Niggemann, Pedro Assis, Pedro Brogueira +13
An established technique for the measurement of ultra-high-energy-cosmic-rays is the detection of the fluorescence light induced in the atmosphere of the Earth, by means of telesco…
