7. IceVeto: An Extension of IceTop to Veto Air Showers for Neutrino Astronomy with IceCube

Dr Jan Auffenberg (RWTH Aachen University)

IceCube is the world's largest high-energy neutrino observatory, built at the South Pole. For neutrino astronomy, a large background-free sample of well-reconstructed neutrinos is essential. The main background for this signal are muons and neutrinos which are generated in cosmic-ray air showers in the Earth's atmosphere. The coincident detection of these air showers by the surface detector...

11. TAXI - Transportable Array for eXtremely large area Instrumentation studies

Timo Karg (DESY)

A challenge that is common to many experiments in high-energy astroparticle physics is the need for sparse instrumentation in areas of 100 km2 and above, often in remote and harsh environments. All these arrays have similar requirements for read-out and communication, power generation and distribution, and synchronization. Within the TAXI project we are developing a transportable, modular...

14. Tunka-Rex: Radio Measurements of Cosmic Ray Air Showers in Siberia

Dmitriy Kostunin (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT))

Tunka-Rex is an array of currently 25 radio antennas spaced at approximately 200 m distance. Tunka-Rex is located at the Tunka site in Siberia, Russia and mainly funded by the Helmholtz Russian Joint Research Group HRJRG-303. It started operation in October 2012 sharing the data-acquisition with the Tunka-133 air-Cherenkov array. Thus, for each air-shower the antenna signal is recorded...

13. Radio detection of cosmic ray air showers: The benefits of additional measurements with vertically aligned antennas

Mr Daniel Huber (KIT)

02/06/2014, 17:35

Nowadays the radio detection technique of air showers is evolving from prototype setups such as the LOFAR PrototypE Station (LOPES) to large-scale detector arrays like the Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA). The detection techniques improved considerably over the last decade. Nevertheless, the contribution of the vertical component to the total radio signal emitted by air showers was not...
