A Project to install water-cherenkov detectors in the antarctic peninsula as part of the LAGO detection network

Mostrar todas las versiones(2)

Due to the geomagnetic shielding, particle detectors located at high latitudes allow the observation of cosmic rays (CRs) with lower energies than those located at middle or low latitudes. Thus, Antarctica is a privileged place to study CRs having the lowest energies that can be observed from ground...
