The Performance of CRTNT Fluorescence Light Detector for Sub-EeV Cosmic Ray Observation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cosmic Ray Tau Neutrino Telescopes (CRTNT) using for sub-EeV cosmic ray measurement is discussed. Performances of a stereoscope configuration of a tower of those telescopes plus two side-triggers are studied by using a detailed detector simulation driven by Corsika. Detector aperture as a function of shower energy above 10 eV is calculated. Event rate of about 20k per year for the second knee measurement is estimated. Event rate for cross calibration with detectors working on higher energy range is also estimated. Different configurations of the detectors are tried for optimization.

متن کاملSimulation of Cosmic Ray Tau Neutrino Telescope (CRTNT) Experiment
A τ lepton can be produced in a charged current interaction by cosmic ray tau neutrino with material inside a mountain. If it escapes from the mountain, it will decay and initiate a shower in the air, which can be detected by an air shower fluorescence/Cherenkov light detector. Designed according to such a principle, the Cosmic Ray Tau Neutrino Telescope (CRTNT) experiment, located at the footh...
متن کاملStudy of the Cosmic Ray Composition above 0.4 EeV using the Longitu- dinal Profiles of Showers observed at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Observatory has been collecting data in a stable manner since January 2004. We present here a study of the cosmic ray composition using events recorded in hybrid mode during the first years of data taking. These are air showers observed by the fluorescence detector as well as the surface detector, so the depth of shower maximum, Xmax, is measured directly. The cosmic ray compos...
متن کاملNeutrinos from the Galactic Center in the Light of its Gamma-Ray Detection at TeV Energy
We re-evaluate the event rate expected in km-scale detectors for neutrinos from the direction of the Galactic Center (GC) in light of recent spectral measurements obtained by the HESS instrument for ∼TeV γ-radiation from this direction. In the most plausible scenario the re-evaluated event rate is smaller than that previously calculated—and here re-calculated—on the basis of EGRET data. However...
