J. Szabelski (for the Carpet-3 collaboration)
TL;DR
Carpet-3 is a new multi-component detector array designed to analyze primary cosmic ray composition around the knee energy region by detecting various secondary particles in extensive air showers.
Contribution
It introduces the Carpet-3 array, an advanced detector system capable of multi-component measurements to improve understanding of cosmic ray composition.
Findings
Enhanced detection of electrons, gammas, muons, hadrons, and neutrons in EASs.
Potential to improve primary cosmic ray composition analysis.
Development of a versatile multi-purpose cosmic ray detector.
Abstract
We propose a new experiment to study primary composition around the knee. The Carpet-3 EAS array is the further development of the Carpet-2 EAS array (1700 m a.s.l., Baksan Valley) and it is supposed to be a multi-component and multi-purpose array detecting, in the EASs with eV, electrons, gammas, muons (with a threshold energy of 1 GeV), hadrons (with energies more than 30 GeV), and thermal neutrons as well. The experimental data are to be used in the multi-component analysis to make conclusions about the composition of the primary cosmic rays.
