TL;DR
The TurLab facility is used to simulate space-based observations of cosmic rays, testing detector performance and trigger logic for upcoming missions like Mini-EUSO and EUSO-SPB2, by recreating terrestrial and light source conditions.
Contribution
This paper presents the use of the TurLab rotating tank to simulate diverse environmental conditions for testing space-based cosmic ray detectors and trigger logic.
Findings
Comparison between TurLab and ISS measurements shows consistency.
TurLab effectively reproduces terrestrial surface and light source conditions.
Preparations for testing EUSO-SPB2 trigger logic are underway.
Abstract
The TurLab facility is a laboratory, equipped with a 5 m diameter and 1 m depth rotating tank, located in the fourth basement level of the Physics Department of the University of Turin. In the past years, we have used the facility to perform experiments related to the observations of Extreme Energy Cosmic Rays (EECRs) from space using the fluorescence technique for JEM- EUSO missions with the main objective to test the response of the trigger logic. In the missions, the diffuse night brightness and artificial and natural light sources can vary significantly in time and space in the Field of View (FoV) of the telescope. Therefore, it is essential to verify the detector performance and test the trigger logic under such an environment. By means of the tank rotation, a various terrestrial surface with the different optical characteristics such as ocean, land, forest, desert and clouds, as…
