Study of Anomalous Events in the TUS Experiment

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

Abstract

The results of the TUS experiment on search and study ultra high-energy cosmic rays with energies E > 70 EeV are analyzed. The TUS detector registered several unusual events of the unclear origin. The analysis of not similar to EAS and unique anomalous events is the subject of the study presented in this paper.
