3 Apr 2015 | Abstract: | Employing a 40-kW radio-frequency transmitter just west of Delta, UT, and
operating at 54.1 MHz, the TARA (Telescope Array RAdar) experiment seeks radar
detection of extensive air showers (EAS) initiated by ultra-high energy cosmic
rays (UHECR). For UHECR with energies in excess of $10^{19}$ eV, the
Doppler-shifted "chirps" resulting from EAS shower core radar reflections
should be observable above background (dominantly galactic) at distances of
tens of km from the TARA transmitter. In order to stereoscopically reconstruct
cosmic ray chirps, two remote, autonomous self-powered receiver stations have
been deployed. Each remote station (RS) combines both low power consumption as
well as low cost. Triggering logic, the powering and communication systems, and
some specific details of hardware components are discussed. | Source: | arXiv, 1504.0779 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
