Large Natural Cherenkov Detectors : Water and Ice
In this review we rst address 2 questions: why do we need kilometer-scale muon and neutrino detectors? what do we learn from the operating Baikal and AMANDA detectors about the construction of kilometer-scale detectors? I will subsequently discuss the challenges for building the next-generation detectors. The main message is that these are diierent, in fact less ominous, than for commissioning ...

High energy neutrino telescopes are multipurpose instruments; their science mission covers astronomy and astrophysics, cosmology, particle physics and cosmic ray physics. Their deployment creates new opportunities for glaciology and oceanography, possibly geology[1]. The observations of astronomers span 19 decades in energy or wavelength, from radio-waves to the high energy gamma rays detected ...
متن کاملOperating Water Cherenkov Detectors in high altitude sites for the Large Aperture GRB Observatory
Water Cherenkov Detectors (WCD) are efficient detectors for detecting GRBs in the 10 GeV 1 TeV energy range using the single particle technique, given their sensitivity to low energy secondary photons produced by high energy photons when cascading in the atmosphere. The Large Aperture GRB Observatory (LAGO) operates arrays of WCD in high altitude sites (above 4500 m a.s.l.) in Bolivia, Mexico a...
متن کاملThe Effect of Wavelength Shifters on Water Cherenkov Detectors
In recent years several experiments have been planned to measure the proton lifetime and, among those under construction, some detectors [ 1 3 ] use large amounts of water as a source of protons and Cherenkov light (CL) for detection of p-decay products. The dynamical interpretation of the events and the vertex reconstruction are the main problems in water Cherenkov detectors; these problems ca...
متن کاملNovel Cherenkov photon detectors
Gaseous detectors using multiple gas electron multiplier (GEM) electrodes permit to attain large amplification factors with a strong suppression of photon and ion-mediated feedback. With the first GEM in a cascade coated with a photosensitive layer, they provide efficient and fast single photon detection, with excellent position resolution. General performances of CsI-coated multi-GEM detectors...
