South Pole Air Shower Experiment for Gamma Ray Astronomy at Ultra-High Energy

这个项目是南极空气淋浴的延续 实验（SPASE），闪烁探测器的大型相控阵列 它是在1988年安装的，用来搜索南部的天空， 超高能（100 GeV）伽马射线的天体物理来源。 SPASE自安装以来每年都进行升级，但 日期没有找到令人信服的证据，一个强有力的来源， 这与其他地方的类似探测器一致。 这 一年的赠款将允许SPASE与一个 新的μ介子探测器刚刚安装在南极。 这个项目是巴托尔研究所和 美国的特拉华州大学和利兹大学 王国

This project is the continuation of the South Pole Air Shower Experiment (SPASE), a large phased array of scintillation detectors which was installed in 1988 to search the southern sky for astrophysical sources of ultra-high energy (100 GeV) gamma rays. SPASE has been upgraded every year since its installation, but to date has not found convincing evidence for a strong source, a result that is consistent with similar detectors elsewhere. This one year grant will allow SPASE to operate in conjunction with a new muon detector which has just been installed at South Pole. This project is a collaboration between Bartol Research Institute of the University of Delaware and Leeds University in the United Kingdom.
