A simple method to calibrate hemispherical photographs
Objectives Hemispherical photography is used to characterize the structure of canopies and measure the gap fraction directional variation to retrieve variables such as the leaf area index (LAI), the fAPAR {Jonckheere, 2004 #3541};{Weiss, 2004 #2872}. Optical systems are not perfect and at least two main characteristics are required: • The coordinates of the optical centre • The projection funct...
متن کاملMilagrito, a TeV air-shower array
Milagrito, a large, covered water-Cherenkov detector, was the world's "rst air-shower-particle detector sensitive to cosmic gamma rays below 1 TeV. It served as a prototype for the Milagro detector and operated from February 1997 to May 1998. This paper gives a description of Milagrito, a summary of the operating experience, and early results that demonstrate the capabilities of this technique....
متن کاملKASCADE extensive air shower experiment
The main aim of the KASCADE extensive air shower (EAS) experiment is the determination of the chemical composition of cosmic rays in the energy range around and above the knee at Ek ≈ 3 PeV. A large number of observables is measured simultaneously for each individual event, by the combination of various detection techniques for the electromagnetic, the muonic, and the hadronic component of the ...
متن کاملAir Shower Measurements with LOFAR
Air showers from cosmic rays emit short, intense radio pulses. LOFAR is a new radio telescope, that is being built in the Netherlands and Europe. Designed primarily as a radio interferometer, the core of LOFAR will have a high density of radio antennas, which will be extremely well calibrated. This makes LOFAR a unique tool for the study of the radio properties of single air showers. Triggering...
متن کاملA Fast Hybrid Approach to Air Shower Simulations and Applications
The SENECA model, a new hybrid approach to air shower simulations, is presented. It combines the use of efficient cascade equations in the energy range where a shower can be treated as one-dimensional, with a traditional Monte Carlo method which traces individual particles. This allows one to reproduce natural fluctuations of individual showers as well as the lateral spread of low energy partic...
