COSMIC RAY STUDIES ON THE MIR SPACE STATION: THE EXPERIMENT SILEYE A.Morselli
نویسنده
چکیده
The Sileye detector can simultaneously measure particle energy losses from 2.5 Minimum Ionizing Particles (MIPs) to 2500 MIPs and determine the coordinates of passing particles with an accuracy of 1.8 mm. This instrument can be used for cosmic rays studies as well as for medical-biological and technological space researches. We will present the results obtained with the first prototype of the apparatus, on board MIR since October 1995, and the performances of the second apparatus, Sileye2, that will be launched in the fall of 1997.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a high energy particle physics experiment that will study cosmic rays in the ∼ 100 MeV to 1 TeV range and will be installed on the International Space Station (ISS) for at least 3 years. A first version of AMS-02, AMS-01, flew aboard the space shuttle Discovery from June 2 to June 12, 1998, and collected 10 8 cosmic ray triggers. Part of the Mir space...

متن کاملStrangelets, Nuclearites, Q-balls—A Brief Overview
Astrophysical bounds on the properties and abundances of primordial quark nuggets and cosmic ray strangelets are reviewed. New experiments to search for cosmic ray strangelets in lunar soil and from the International Space Station are described. Analogies with baryonic and supersymmetric Q-balls are briefly mentioned, as are prospects for strangelets as ultra-high energy cosmic rays.
متن کاملPhysical Investigation of Space, Dosimetry of Space Ionizing Ray Effect (Van Allen belts, Galactic Cosmic Rays and Solar particles) and Plotting Dose Map for Satellite Circular Missions
One of the main factors for satellite design is simulating of total ionizing dose due to space ionizing rays in devices used in space. By measurement of induced dose based on available data in different altitudes, expenses of designing, satellite weight and amount of needed fuel will be reduced. Optimum design of satellite for protecting satellite against ionizing radiation has considerable eff...
متن کاملThe Hunt for Dark Photons
Although the idea of heavy photons has been around for almost 30 years, it gained new interest just a few years ago when theorists suggested that it could explain why several experiments detected more high-energy positrons—the antimatter partners of electrons—than scientists had expected in the cosmic radiation of space. Data from the PAMELA satellite experiment; the AMS instrument aboard the I...
