论文摘要
通过实施一种相对较新的方法来研究主要的宇宙射线 - 从雪地反射出大量空气淋浴的光学瓦维洛夫 - 切伦科夫辐射(Cherenkov Light),开发了一个新的项目。该项目的目的是通过检测反射的广泛的空气淋浴的Cherenkov光,研究1-100 PEV的宇宙射线质量组成。计划将硅光电塑料用作检测器的主要光敏元素,并计划将无人机将测量设备提升到雪地覆盖的地面上。
A new project is developed with the implementation of a relatively new method of studying the primary cosmic ray -- the registration of extensive air showers' optical Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation (Cherenkov light) reflected from the snow surface. The aim of the project is the study of the cosmic ray mass composition in the energy range of 1-100 PeV by detecting the reflected extensive air showers' Cherenkov light. Silicon photomultipliers are planned to be used as the main photosensitive element of the detector and an unmanned aerial vehicle will is planned to lift the measuring equipment over the snow-covered ground.
