A low cost hybrid detection system of high energy air showers


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We report on the design and the expected performance of a low cost hybrid detection system suitable for operation as an autonomous unit in strong electromagnetic noise environments. The system consists of three particle detectors (scintillator modules) and one or more RF antennas. The particle detector units are used to detect air showers and to supply the trigger to the RF Data acquisition electronics. The hardware of the detector as well as the expected performance in detecting and reconstructing the angular direction for the shower axis is presented. Calibration data are used to trim the simulation parameters and to investigate the response to high energy ($E>10^{15} eV$) extensive air showers.
