HERD will address several major problems in fundamental physics and astrophysics, including cosmic ray (CR) direct measurements up to PeV energies, dark matter searches, and a gamma-ray survey above 0.1 GeV. HERD consists of five sub-detectors, including a 3D imaging calorimeter (CALO) with two independent readout systems, based on image intensified CMOS (IsCMOS) camera and photodiodes (PD), respectively. The CALO is surrounded by a scintillating fiber tracker (FIT), a plastic scintillator detector (PSD) and a silicon charge detector (SCD). Additionally, a transition radiation detector (TRD) is placed on one of the lateral sides to provide accurate energy calibration. To accomplish the different HERD scientific goals, several trigger strategies have been defined. The baseline trigger relies on the energy deposited in different CALO regions and in the PSD. To enhance HERD science capabilities and calibration qualities, the advanced trigger strategy is designed with the information provided by the CALO PD, FIT and TRD. This will provide an efficient extension of the energy range for specific samples. The baseline and advanced trigger strategy will be presented, together with some optimization work of the calibration events selection in HE trigger channels.","PeriodicalId":448458,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2023)","volume":"129 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139258879","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}

However, the relative contribution of various types of shocks to the cosmic ray spectrum is still the subject of ongoing debate. Numerical studies have shown that in the non-relativistic regime, oblique shocks are capable of accelerating cosmic rays, depending on the Alfv'enic Mach number of the shock. We now seek to extend this study into the mildly relativistic regime. In this case, dependence of the ion reflection rate on the shock obliquity is different compared to the nonrelativistic regime. Faster relativistic shocks are perpendicular for the majority of shock obliquity angles therefore their ability to initialize efficient DSA is limited. We define the ion injection rate using fully kinetic PIC simulation where we follow the formation of the shock and determine the fraction of ions that gets involved into formation of the shock precursor in the mildly relativistic regime covering a Lorentz factor range from 1 to 3. Then, with this result, we use a combined PIC-MHD method to model the large-scale evolution of the shock with the ion injection recipe dependent on the local shock obliquity. This methodology accounts for the influence of the self-generated or pre-existing upstream turbulence on the shock obliquity which allows study substantially larger and longer simulations compared to classical hybrid techniques.","PeriodicalId":448458,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2023)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125784678","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}

The spectrum is consistent with a power-law spectrum with no cutoff. Inside the error region of the source, a shell-type SNR G69.7+1.0 is found locating only 0.07 ◦ away from the best-fit location of the source, suggesting a strong association between the UHE gamma-ray source and the SNR.

These multiplet trails, nearly a dozen of events each, were pointing to the main well-defined directions in the sky: Cen A and NGC 253. These secondaries signals, probably fragments of high-energy UHECR primaries, have been forgotten or neglected. Such additional information, in our opinion, is capable of accurately disentangle and confirm the nature of the UHECR candidate hot spot sources.

The current plan involves the establishment of four subclusters, each housing eight telescopes, across the LHAASO-KM2A area. These subclusters will observe distinct sources, thereby providing much more observation time compared to other IACT arrays. Additionally, combining all telescopes into a single large array is possible to enhance the energy threshold and telescope multiplity, ultimately improving angular resolution. By this way, we can maximize the muon detector capabilities. With muon dector, we can achieve an excellent background supreesion, which greatly aids the observation of extended sources.
