IceTop - Cosmic Ray物理学与IceCube

IceTop - Cosmic Ray Physics with IceCube

Tilo Waldenmaier

摘要:

南极冰立方实验由两个探测器组成--冰顶表面的空气簇射阵列和1450米至2450米深处的中微子望远镜。目前,已部署了26个IceTop站和22个InIce串。以冰顶阵列目前的尺寸,有可能测量能量范围从0.5到100 PeV的宇宙射线。IceTop和InIce探测器之间的重合事件为探测器性能提供了有用的交叉检查,并进一步使研究宇宙射线成分成为可能。本文综述了IceTop的现状。

英文摘要:

The IceCube experiment at South Pole consists of two detector components - the IceTop air shower array on the surface and the neutrino telescope at depths from 1450 m to 2450 m below. Currently, 26 IceTop stations and 22 InIce strings are deployed. With the present size of the IceTop array, it is possible to measure cosmic rays with energies ranging from 0.5 to 100 PeV. Coincident events between the IceTop and the InIce detector provide useful cross-checks of the detector performance and furthermore make it possible to study the cosmic-ray composition. This paper gives an overview on the current status of IceTop.
