AMANDA and MILAGRO Combined

9318909 Yodh美国加州大学欧文分校的教职工获得研究资助，研究高能宇宙射线，特别是伽马射线和中微子入射地球的特性。目标是确定未知来源的身份，并解释仍然未知的加速机制。这些都是当前人们非常感兴趣和活跃的话题。一个主要的推力是MILAGRO的发展，这是一种新的空气淋浴探测器，利用淋浴者在一个大水池中产生的切伦科夫辐射。另一个是继续部署和运行中微子和介子探测器——AMANDA阵列，它位于南极洲的冰面上，作为一个扩展的切伦科夫辐射器。＊＊＊

9318909 Yodh Support for research is granted to faculty at the University of California at Irvine to study characteristics of high energy cosmic rays, especially gamma rays and neutrinos, incident on earth. The goal is to establish the identity of as yet unknown sources and explicate still unknown acceleration mechanism(s). Those are subjects of intense current interest and activity. One major thrust is the development of MILAGRO, a new air-shower detector that makes use of Cerenkov radiation produced by shower parties in a large pool of water. The other is continued deployment and operation of neutrino and muon detectors, the AMANDA array, in the ice at Antarctica that serves as an extended Cerenkov radiator. ***
