摘要:

皮埃尔俄歇天文台的设计目的是研究能量大于10^{19} eV的宇宙射线。为观测站设想了两个地点,每个半球一个,以实现完整的天空覆盖。位于阿根廷门多萨的俄歇天文台的南部站点即将完工,它拥有一个由1600个水-切伦科夫表面探测站组成的阵列,覆盖面积达3000平方公里,还有24台荧光望远镜,用于记录这些粒子产生的空气簇射级联。两种互补的检测器技术与大收集面积一起形成了这些研究的强大工具。虽然建设尚未完成,但俄歇天文台自2004年1月以来一直在稳定地获取数据,第一批物理结果正在发表。本文介绍了俄歇天文台地面探测站的设计特点和技术特点。

英文摘要:

The Pierre Auger Observatory is designed to study cosmic rays with energies greater than 10^{19} eV. Two sites are envisaged for the observatory, one in each hemisphere, for complete sky coverage. The southern site of the Auger Observatory, now approaching completion in Mendoza, Argentina, features an array of 1600 water-Cherenkov surface detector stations covering 3000 km^2, together with 24 fluorescence telescopes to record the air shower cascades produced by these particles. The two complementary detector techniques together with the large collecting area form a powerful instrument for these studies. Although construction is not yet complete, the Auger Observatory has been taking data stably since January 2004 and the first physics results are being published. In this paper we describe the design features and technical characteristics of the surface detector stations of the Pierre Auger Observatory.
