Cosmic Ray Results from the IceTop Air Shower Array
IceTop, the surface component of the IceCube neutrino telescope at the South Pole, is an air-shower array which will finally consist of 160 ice Cherenkov tanks at 80 stations spread over an area of 1 km. Currently 40 stations are deployed and taking data. The detector is designed to cover the energy range above the knee up to about 10 eV and study the mass composition of primary cosmic rays. In...
متن کاملThe sensitivity of cosmic ray air shower experiments for excited lepton detection
In models with substructure in the fermionic sector, excited fermion states are expected. Excited leptons could be produced in the interaction of high energy quasihorizontal cosmic neutrinos with the atmosphere via neutral and charged current processes, νN → ν∗X and νN → l∗X. The hadronic component X, and possibly part of the excited lepton decay products, would originate an extensive air showe...
متن کاملA large area plastic scintillator detector array for fast neutron measurements
A large area plastic scintillator detector array(∼ 1×1 m) has been set up for fast neutron spectroscopy at the BARC-TIFR Pelletron laboratory, Mumbai. The energy, time and position response has been measured for electrons using radioactive sources and for mono-energetic neutrons using the 7Li(p,n1) Be*(0.429 MeV) reaction at proton energies between 6.3 and 19 MeV. A Monte Carlo simulation of th...
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE A radio air shower surface detector as an extension for IceCube and IceTop
The IceCube neutrino detector is built into the Antarctic ice sheet at the South Pole to measure high energy neutrinos. For this, 4800 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are being deployed at depths between 1450 and 2450 meters into the ice to measure neutrino induced charged particles like muons. IceTop is a surface air shower detector consisting of 160 Cherenkov ice tanks located on top of IceCube....
متن کاملSensitivity of large cosmic ray air shower experiments for new physics searches
Searches for physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics are performed at accelerators worldwide. Although having poorer detection capabilities and large beam uncertainties, ultra high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) experiments present a unique opportunity to look for new physics far beyond the TeV. Nearly horizontal energetic neutrinos, seeing a large atmospheric target volume and with ne...
