A simple threshold trigger for radio detector can be efficiently applied onlyin radio-quiet conditions, because for other cases this trigger detects a high fraction of noise pulses. In the present work, we study aspects of independent air-shower detection by dense antenna clusters with a complex real-time trigger system. For choosing the optimal procedures for the real-time analysis, we study the dependence between trigger efficiency, count rate, detector hardware and geometry. For this study, we develop a framework for testing various methods of signal detection and noise filtration for arrays with various specifications and the hardware implementation of these methods based on field programmable gate arrays. The framework provides flexible settings for the management of station-level and cluster-level steps of detecting the signal, optimized for the hardware implementation for real-time processing. It includes data-processing tools for the initialconfiguration and tests on pre-recorded data, tools for configuring the trigger architecture andtools for preliminary estimates of the trigger efficiency at given thresholds of cosmic-ray energyand air-shower pulse amplitude. We show examples of the trigger pipeline developed with this framework and discuss the results of tests on simulated data.","PeriodicalId":20473,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2021)","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81998712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has been demonstrated in component accelerator tests at CERN, including silicon strip detectors in place of scintillators. The geometry factor for TIGERISS is estimated to be from 1.1 to 1.7 m2 sr depending on the ISS attachment point, compared to 0.6 m2 sr for TIGER. Within one-year TIGERISS would observe ∼27 56Ba nuclei, a 20% statistically significant result comparable to the current SuperTIGER data set. Not requiring corrections for atmospheric interactions and scintillator saturation effects the TIGERISS results would be cleaner, and they would also make preliminary measurements to higher charges that will test models for cosmic-ray origins and acceleration.

Experiments with high angular resolution that can detect gamma rays in the 100 TeV region will help study acceleration mechanisms of those gamma-ray sources. In recent years, three groups using extensive air shower arrays have reported detecting gamma rays in the 100 TeV region from astronomical objects in the galaxy. In extensive air shower experiments, an arrival direction of a cosmic ray is determined by estimating a shape of a front surface of an air shower based on a detected secondary particle density distribution and detection time. The density of secondary gamma rays of an air shower is several times that of secondary electrons and positrons in an air shower and the difference increases as the distance from the shower axis increases. Therefore, secondary gamma-ray measurements are key to determining the arrival direction of the shower. We report the results of investigating the effect of secondary gamma rays on the time determination accuracy of an air shower front using a Monte Carlo simulation. We also report the results of examining different detector structures to improve the time resolution using a water Cherenkov detector, which has high detection efficiency for secondary gamma rays.","PeriodicalId":20473,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2021)","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73536057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Corrections for propagating through the last ∼ 0.5% of the atmosphere are based on those developed for the preceding TIGER instrument. Changes due to nuclear interactions are determined by finding top of the atmosphere (TOA) elemental abundances that yield those measured in the instrument after solving networks of equations for all elements with partial and total charge changing cross sections stepping through fine slabs of material. Varying rates of energy loss in the atmosphere for different elements yield different TOA minimum energies for the acrylic Cherenkov detector threshold ( ∼ 350 MeV/nuc). TOA abundances corrected for nuclear interactions for each element are scaled with the fraction of the integral energy spectrum for its TOA minimum energy, using the iron spectrum for the UHGCR. Statistical uncertainties are derived at the TOA by shifting the abundance of each element individually up and down by the measured uncertainty in the instrument and calculating the TOA abundance of that element. Systematic uncertainties previously were estimated by simultaneously shifting the partial and then the total cross sections for all elements up and down by their uncertainties and finding TOA abundances compared to the nominal values.
