ARGO-YBJ探测器的定标模式技术
Scaler Mode Technique for the ARGO-YBJ Detector
摘要:
ARGO-YBJ实验的目的是利用高海拔位置(4300 m a.s.l.)研究能量阈值低于现有阵列的广泛空气簇射。在西藏,P.R.中国)和全地面平面覆盖。探测器的能量下限(E $\sim$ 1 GeV)通过定标器模式技术达到,即以固定的时间间隔记录计数率。在这些能量下,由于局部(例如福布什减少)和宇宙学(例如伽马射线暴)现象而产生的瞬态信号预期为与背景相比计数率的显著变化。本文描述和讨论了ARGO-YBJ探测器在定标器模式下的性能。
英文摘要:
The ARGO-YBJ experiment has been designed to study the Extensive Air Showers with an energy threshold lower than that of the existing arrays by exploiting the high altitude location(4300 m a.s.l. in Tibet, P.R. China) and the full ground plane coverage. The lower energy limit of the detector (E $\sim$ 1 GeV) is reached by the scaler mode technique, i.e. recording the counting rate at fixed time intervals. At these energies, transient signals due to local (e.g. Forbush Decreases) and cosmological (e.g. Gamma Ray Bursts) phenomena are expected as a significant variation of the counting rate compared to the background. In this paper the performance of the ARGO-YBJ detector operating in scaler mode is described and discussed.
