Sensitivity of JEM-EUSO to GRB Neutrinos
JEM-EUSO is a mission to study ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) by measuring the fluorescence light from giant air showers at the altitude of the International Space Station. In the tilted mode, JEM-EUSO will become very sensitive to the Čerenkov light from the earth skimming tau neutrinos at the energy range of 10eV. In this paper we will discuss high-energy tau neutrinos from nearby gamm...
متن کاملRadiation Hardness Assurance for the JEM-EUSO Space Mission
This analysis documents the process and results of reliability determination of the PhotoMultiplier Tube (PMT) components of the JEM-EUSO telescope under the different radiation sources, UV radiation, Total Ionizing Doses (TIDs), and Single Event Transients. In terms of UV Ionization, the transmittance of the glass of the PMTs during the 5-year duration of the mission is greater than 99.98%, th...
متن کاملThe ATLAS Level-1 Trigger: Status of the System and First Results from Cosmic-Ray Data
The ATLAS detector at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be exposed to proton-proton collisions from beams crossing at 40 MHz. At the design luminosity of 10 cm s there are on average 23 collisions per bunch crossing. A threelevel trigger system will select potentially interesting events in order to reduce the read-out rate to about 200 Hz. The first trigger level is implemented in customb...
متن کاملThe potential of the JEM-EUSO telescope for the astrophysics of extreme energy photons
Extreme energy photons are expected to be a minor component of the ultra high energy cosmic rays. Nevertheless, they are the carriers of very important astrophysical information related to the origin and propagation of such ultra energetic particles. JEM-EUSO is an orbital fluorescence telescope intended to observe the highest energy component of the cosmic rays, including photons and neutrinos...
متن کاملSimulation studies of the HADES first level trigger. PART I: Performance in heavy-ion induced reactions
The first level trigger of the HADES spectrometer is studied for the heavy-ion collision systems Au+Au and Ne+Ne. The trigger efficiency for central events is given in dependence of the imposed charged particle multiplicity condition. The timing properties of the trigger signal are described. The losses due to deadtime are specified. Finally, the first level trigger rate is reported. UCY–PHY–96...
