An Orbital Detector of Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays: Status and Prospects of the KLYPVE Project

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

Abstract

KLYPVE (K-EUSO) is a planned space experiment aimed at studying ultra-high-energy cosmic rays by detecting fluorescent and Cherenkov radiation from extensive air showers in the Earth’s night atmosphere from near-Earth orbit. The observatory is being developed as a part of the JEM-EUSO program. The threshold of registration will be around 50 EeV, and the annual statistics of events will be more than 50. The KLYPVE mission can significantly supplement the data of ground-based experiments.
