摘要:

天体物理学与宇宙学研究高中项目是一个大型大范围空气簇射阵列,在荷兰、联合王国、丹麦和纳米比亚设有探测站。Hierarchy是大学、科研机构和高中的合作项目。大多数检测站设在高中。一个热泵站由两个或四个放置在建筑物顶部的屋顶箱内的制冷机组成。探测器对单个入射μ子的测量响应与GEANT4模拟吻合得很好。台站对EAS的响应也与模拟结果一致。在KASCADE实验中集成了一个四闪烁器站,用于确定簇射方向重建的准确性。使用模拟,一个站的触发效率,以检测作为函数的簇射核心和天顶距的簇射的距离被确定。Hierarchy实验从2003年开始收集数据。车站数量(2019年约为140个)仍在增加。该项目表明,其方法对于教育目的是可行的,并且可以通过与高中学生和教师合作获得科学数据。

英文摘要:

The High School Project on Astrophysics Research with Cosmics (HiSPARC) is a large extensive air shower (EAS) array with detection stations throughout the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Denmark and Namibia. HiSPARC is a collaboration of universities, scientific institutes and high schools. The majority of detection stations is hosted by high schools. A HiSPARC station consists of two or four scintillators placed inside roof boxes on top of a building. The measured response of a detector to single incoming muons agrees well with GEANT4 simulations. The response of a station to EASs agrees with simulations as well. A four-scintillator station was integrated in the KASCADE experiment and was used to determine the accuracy of the shower direction reconstruction. Using simulations, the trigger efficiency of a station to detect a shower as function of both distance to the shower core and zenith angle was determined. The HiSPARC experiment is taking data since 2003. The number of stations (~140 in 2019) still increases. The project demonstrates that its approach is viable for educational purposes and that scientific data can be obtained in a collaboration with high school students and teachers.
