Estimation of Extensive Air Shower Primary Parameters Using Cherenkov Light Angular Distribution in the SPHERE-3 Experiment
摘要
Abstract
Some plans on further development of the SPHERE experiment are presented. Namely, reasons for the introduction of an additional detector of the angular distribution of Cherenkov light, pointed at zenith, are given. It can only work together with the main telescope but can yield important information on the primary particle direction and mass. Construction and capabilities of the detector are discussed, draft algorithms for direction definition are revealed, and sensitivity to the primary mass is shown.
