Search for Gamma Ray Bursts with the Argo-ybj Detector in Scaler Mode
We report on the search for Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) in the energy range 1-100 GeV in coincidence with the prompt emission detected by satellites using the Astrophysical Radiation with Ground-based Observatory at YangBaJing (ARGO-YBJ) air shower detector. Thanks to its mountain location (Yangbajing, Tibet, P.R. China, 4300 m a.s.l.), active surface (∼6700 m of Resistive Plate Chambers), and larg...
متن کاملGRBs search results with the ARGO - YBJ experiment operated in Scaler Mode
The ARGO-YBJ experiment is almost completely installed at the YangBaJing Cosmic Ray Laboratory (4300 m a.s.l., Tibet, P.R. China). The lower energy limit of the detector (E ∼ 1 GeV) is reached with the scaler mode, i.e., recording the single particle rate at fixed time intervals. In this technique, due to its high altitude location and large area (∼ 6700 m 2), this experiment is the most sensit...
متن کاملGamma-ray astronomy and cosmic-ray physics with ARGO-YBJ
The ARGO-YBJ detector, located 4300 m a.s.l. on the Tibet plateau, is a ground-based, full-coverage array of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) covering a surface of 78 × 74 m 2 , surrounded by a guard ring of RPCs enclosing a total surface of about 11000 m 2. ARGO-YBJ was designed to detect extensive air showers generated by cosmic rays and gamma rays with primary energy greater than few hundred ...
متن کاملVery High Energy Gamma Ray Astronomy and Cosmic Ray Physics with the ARGO-YBJ experiment
Gamma ray astronomy at energies 1011 1013 eV, which are strictly related to the identification and study of the cosmic ray acceleration sites, is the main scientific goal of the ARGO-YBJ experiment. The detector, which is now being assembled in Tibet (China) at 4300 m a.s.l., is a full coverage Extensive Air Shower array consisting of a carpet of Resistive Plate Chambers covering a surface of a...
متن کاملIdentification of Showers with Cores Outside the ARGO- YBJ Detector
In any EAS array, the rejection of events with shower cores outside the detector boundaries is of great importance. A large difference between the true and the reconstructed shower core positions may lead to a systematic miscalculation of some shower characteristics. Moreover, an accurate determination of the shower core position for selected internal events is important to reconstruct the prim...
