摘要:

K-EUSO(KLYPVE-EUSO)是一项计划中的轨道飞行任务,目的是通过探测地球夜间大气层中大量空气簇射在紫外线范围内发射的荧光和切伦科夫光,研究超高能宇宙射线。该观测站正在JEM-EUSO合作范围内开发,计划于2025年后部署在国际空间站上,运行至少两年。该望远镜由$\sim10^{5}$独立像素组成,在地面上的空间分辨率将达到$\sim0.6$公里,在400公里的高度上,它将实现大范围的全天空曝光,以采集UHECR光谱的最高能量范围。我们提供了一个全面的审查K-EUSO实验的发展现状,特别注意其硬件部分和预期的性能。我们展示了K-EUSO任务的结果如何补充现有地面实验的成就,推动对超高能宇宙射线的有趣研究,并带来有关在紫外线范围内大气中出现的其他现象的新知识。

英文摘要:

K-EUSO (KLYPVE-EUSO) is a planned orbital mission aimed at studying ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) by detecting fluorescence and Cherenkov light emitted by extensive air showers in the nocturnal atmosphere of Earth in the ultraviolet (UV) range. The observatory is being developed within the JEM-EUSO collaboration and is planned to be deployed on the International Space Station after 2025 and operated for at least two years. The telescope, consisting of $\sim10^{5}$ independent pixels, will allow a spatial resolution of $\sim0.6$ km on the ground, and, from a 400 km altitude, it will achieve a large and full sky exposure to sample the highest energy range of the UHECR spectrum. We provide a comprehensive review of the current status of the development of the K-EUSO experiment, paying special attention to its hardware parts and expected performance. We demonstrate how results of the K-EUSO mission can complement the achievements of the existing ground-based experiments and push forward the intriguing studies of ultra-high energy cosmic rays, as well as bring new knowledge about other phenomena manifesting themselves in the atmosphere in the UV range.
