AMANDA and MILAGRO Combined

小行星9318909 支持研究的是在欧文的加州大学的教师研究高能宇宙射线的特性，特别是伽马射线和中微子，在地球上的事件。 目标是确定未知来源的身份，并阐明未知的加速机制。 这些都是当前人们非常感兴趣和活跃的主题。 一个主要的推动力是MILAGRO的开发，这是一种新的空气簇射探测器，它利用了大水池中的簇射派对产生的切伦科夫辐射。 另一个是继续在南极洲的冰中部署和运行中微子和μ子探测器-阿曼达阵列，作为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. ***
