Video: Station of the Surface Detector 1/2
Author: Admin Date: 2015-12-22 12:21:02 Size: 1.52 MB Keywords: Each 3,000-gallon (12,000 liter) tank, separated from each of its neighbors by 1.5 kilometers, is completely dark inside - except when particles from a cosmic ray air shower pass through it. These energetic particles are traveling faster than the speed .... |

Video: Surface and Fluorescence Detectors
Author: Admin Date: 2015-12-22 12:38:53 Size: 3.81 MB Keywords: The Auger Observatory is a "hybrid detector," employing two independent methods to detect and study high-energy cosmic rays. One technique detects high energy particles through their interaction with water placed in surface detector tanks. The other .... |

Video: Inside a Fluorescence Detector Building
Author: Admin Date: 2015-12-22 12:41:32 Size: 18.05 MB Keywords: The charged particles in an air shower also interact with atmospheric nitrogen, causing it to emit ultraviolet light via a process called fluorescence, which is invisible to the human eye - but not to the Auger Observatory's optical detectors. Using a .... |
