Underground hadronic calorimeter for EAS studies
Bulletin of The Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics(2011)
Abstract
An innovative method for studying the properties of extensive air showers (EASes) that is based on the detection of thermal neutrons generated by high energy hadrons under a soil absorber of 500 g cm −2 is proposed and tested. It is shown that underground hadronic calorimeter can be performed with special scintillation detectors developed by the authors. The method could be quite useful in gamma shower selection and investigations of EAS properties, primary cosmic ray mass composition, EAS core location, and so on.
