Abstract: Because gas Cherenkov detectors can exclude most interference from secondary gamma rays, they have been the primary candidate for detection of fusion gamma rays. It is a goal worthy of long-term efforts to enhance the… read more here.

Abstract: We present a new method for probing the hadronic interaction models at ultrahigh energy and extracting details about mass composition. This is done using the time profiles of the signals recorded with the water-Cherenkov detectors… read more here.
