A particle detector array for the Murchison Widefield Array

该项目将为Murchison Widefield Array射电望远镜建造粒子探测器阵列。该阵列将识别地球大气中的宇宙射线相互作用，并触发无线电观测。其结果将是研究自然界中最高能量粒子宇宙射线起源的新能力，并发现大型强子对撞机无法达到的能量的新物理过程。 预期的好处是建立默奇森宽场阵列作为世界领先的天体粒子物理学仪器;为未来的平方公里阵列研究奠定基础;并为公众感兴趣的长期科学问题提供答案。

The project will construct a particle detector array for the Murchison Widefield Array radio telescope. The array will identify cosmic ray interactions in the Earth's atmosphere, and trigger radio observations. The outcome will be a new capability to study the origin of the highest-energy particles in nature, cosmic rays, and discover new physical processes at energies unreachable by the Large Hadron Collider. The anticipated benefits are the establishment of the Murchison Widefield Array as a world-leading instrument for astroparticle physics; to lay the foundations for future research with the Square Kilometre Array; and to provide answers to long-standing scientific questions of public interest.
