Results from the ARGO-YBJ Test Experiment
The ARGO-YBJ Collaboration
TL;DR
The ARGO-YBJ test experiment involved deploying a 50 m² RPC module at high altitude, collecting over a million air shower events, and demonstrating its ability to reconstruct shower features for cosmic ray studies.
Contribution
This paper reports on the successful operation and performance evaluation of a prototype RPC carpet for cosmic ray air shower detection at high altitude.
Findings
Collected over 1 million air shower events.
Demonstrated shower reconstruction capabilities.
Validated the detector's performance at high altitude.
Abstract
An RPC carpet covering ~10**4 m**2 (ARGO-YBJ experiment) will be installed in the YangBaJing Laboratory (Tibet, P.R. China) at an altitude of 4300 m a.s.l.. A test-module of ~50 m**2 has been put in operation in this laboratory and about 10**6 air shower events have been collected. The carpet capability of reconstructing the shower features is presented.
