The SPHERE Project: Developing a Technique for Reflected Cherenkov Light

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Further development of the way of studying primary cosmic rays by detecting the reflected extensive air shower Cherenkov light is planned, based on the successful implementation of the SPHERE-2 aerostat experiment. The possibility of simultaneously detecting direct and reflected Cherenkov light from extensive air showers is demonstrated. Prospects for creating a new SPHERE-3 detector are discussed and the first results from modeling are presented.
