Abstract 9601950 Gaisser This is an Academic Research Infrastructure (ARI) award to upgrade the instrumentation for the South Pole Air Shower Experiment (SPASE) and to provide analysis equipment for the home laboratory at Bartol Research Institute at the University of Delaware. SPASE has three main scientific goals: to search for sources of ultra high energy gamma rays; by working in conjunction with the Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA), which is a detector buried deep in the ice below South Pole, to determine the elemental composition of very high energy cosmic rays; and to provide pointing calibration for AMANDA. The equipment funded by this grant will be especially useful in the composition studies, an area of the highest priority in the cosmic ray physics community. SPASE is a collaborative effort of Bartol and the University of Leeds (UK). Funds for this award is being provided by both the Antarctic Aeronomy and Astrophysics Program and the Office of Science and Technology Infrastructure. ***

摘要9601950 Gaisser这是一个学术研究基础设施（ARI）奖，以升级南极空气淋浴实验（SPASE）的仪器，并提供分析设备的家庭实验室在巴托尔研究所在特拉华州大学。 空间空间应用科学方案有三个主要科学目标：寻找超高能伽马射线源;与南极μ介子和中微子探测器阵列（阿曼达）-一个深埋在南极冰下的探测器-合作，确定甚高能宇宙射线的元素组成;为阿曼达提供指向校准。 由这笔赠款资助的设备将特别有助于成分研究，这是宇宙射线物理界最优先的领域。 SPASE是Bartol和英国利兹大学的合作成果。 该奖项的资金由南极高层大气物理学和天体物理学方案以及科学和技术基础设施办公室提供。 ***
