摘要：
高能宇宙射线的能量比在粒子加速器中遇到的能量高数千倍，为科学家提供了研究物质基本性质的手段。为了探测高能宇宙射线，正在开发新的探测硬件和实验方法。在这项工作中，我们描述了网络的HELYCON（HELLENIC LYCEUM宇宙观测站网络）自主站的探测和定向重建扩展大气骤雨（EAS）粒子锋。HELYCON台站是混合台站，由三个大型塑料反射器和一个CODALEMA天线组成，用于EAS粒子阵面的射频探测。本文介绍了三个HELYCON站的安装、操作和校准，以及遥控、监测和数据采集的电子元件。我们报告的软件包开发的探测器的响应和台站的操作的详细模拟。对模拟参数进行了微调，以便准确描述每个探测器的特性和每个HELYCON站的运行情况。最后，评价站的性能重建EAS粒子阵面的方向。
英文摘要：
High energy cosmic rays, with energies thousands of times higher than those encountered in particle accelerators, offer scientists the means of investigating the elementary properties of matter. In order to detect high energy cosmic rays, new detection hardware and experimental methods are being developed. In this work, we describe the network of HELYCON (HEllenic LYceum Cosmic Observatories Network) autonomous stations for the detection and directional reconstruction of Extended Atmospheric Showers (EAS) particle-fronts. HELYCON stations are hybrid stations consisting of three large plastic scintillators plus a CODALEMA antenna for the RF detection of EAS particle-fronts. We present the installation, operation and calibration of three HELYCON stations and the electronic components for the remote control, monitor and Data Acquisition. We report on the software package developed for the detailed simulation of the detectors' response and for the stations' operation. The simulation parameters have been fine tuned in order to accurately describe each individual detector's characteristics and the operation of each HELYCON station. Finally, the evaluation of the stations' performance in reconstructing the direction of the EAS particle-front is being presented.
