摘要:

全球手机摄像头传感器中硅的总面积超过了迄今为止的任何实验。这些传感器基于与现代天文望远镜和粒子探测器类似的半导体技术,除了光子之外还可以检测电离辐射。分布式电子宇宙射线观测站(DECO)利用全球活动手机网络探测宇宙射线和其他高能粒子,如放射性衰变产生的粒子。DECO由一个Android应用程序、数据库和公共数据浏览器组成,可供世界各地的公民科学家使用(https://wipac.wisc.edu/deco)。在所有七大洲都探测到了候选的宇宙射线事件,可以根据其相应图像的形态进行分类。我们介绍了DECO项目,一种新型的粒子探测器,在公共宣传和教育方面有着广泛的应用。

英文摘要:

The total area of silicon in cell phone camera sensors worldwide surpasses that in any experiment to date. Based on semiconductor technology similar to that found in modern astronomical telescopes and particle detectors, these sensors can detect ionizing radiation in addition to photons. The Distributed Electronic Cosmic-ray Observatory (DECO) uses the global network of active cell phones in order to detect cosmic rays and other energetic particles such as those produced by radioactive decays. DECO consists of an Android application, database, and public data browser available to citizen scientists around the world (https://wipac.wisc.edu/deco). Candidate cosmic-ray events have been detected on all seven continents and can be categorized by the morphology of their corresponding images. We present the DECO project, a novel particle detector with wide applications in public outreach and education.
