An Atmospheric Monitoring System (AMS) is mandatory and a key element of space-based mission which aims to detect Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR). JEM-EUSO has dedicated atmospheric monitoring system that plays fundamental role in our understanding the conditions Field View (FoV) telescope. Our AMS consists an infrared camera LIDAR device are being fully designed with space qualification fulfil scientific requirements this mission. This will provide information cloud cover FoV...
A precise characterization of the Earth's UV background during night is essential for observation ultra-high-energy cosmic ray induced extensive air showers (EAS) from space.We have analyzed data flight EUSO-Balloon pathfinder mission that took place near Timmins (Canada) in moonless 24 to 25 August 2014.The telescope imaged wavelength range 290 -430 nm an altitude ∼ 38 km with 1 m 2 refractor 11 • field-of-view pointed nadir direction.The were complemented by Infrared camera onboard...
JEM-EUSO is a space observatory that will be located on-board the Japanese Experiment Module at International Space Station. It observe Extensive Air Showers (EAS) induced by ultra-high energy cosmic rays using Earth's atmosphere as detector. In addition to clear sky observations, EAS are also observable in cloudy conditions if sufficiently large part of development occurs above cloud. The atmospheric monitoring system plays fundamental role our understanding field view telescope.
In this paper we describe the requirements and expected performances of Extreme Universe Space Observatory (EUSO) onboard Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) International Station. Designed as first mission to explore Ultra High Energy (UHE) from space, JEM-EUSO will monitor, night-time, earth's atmosphere record UV (300-400 nm) tracks generated by Extensive Air Showers produced UHE primaries propagating in atmosphere. After briefing summarizing main aspects Instrument baseline, present details...
Source of Ultra-high Energy Cosmic Rays (several times 10 19 eV) are still unidentified. Overcoming their extremely small fluxes, a detector with huge observation as is needed to investigate the energy and arrival direction distribution EECRs. JEM-EUSO unique experiment that will be located in International Space Station observe extensive air showers (EAS) by monitoring night part Earth atmosphere. In addition clear sky condition, cloudy condition also observable taking advantage certain...
A detailed analysis of the low energy (0.01-10 meV) integral reaction cross section has been carried out for F + HD(v=0, 1; j=1) → HF(DF) D(H) using...
The EUSO-Balloon, pathfinder for the JEM-EUSO Space Mission, was launched during night of August 25, 2014.The main aim flight to test all technologies developed EUSO (Extreme Universe Observatory) Mission under very severe operating conditions (Stratosphere at 40 km altitude), partly representative working in ISS.The IR camera onboard EUSO-Balloon is used obtain Cloud Top Height (CTH) and cloud coverage Field View (FoV) by using two Long Wave InfraRed (LWIR) bands centered 10.8 µm 12 µm.To...
In this paper we describe the requirements and expected performances of JEM-EUSO. Designed as first mission to explore Ultra High Energy Universe from space, JEM-EUSO will monitor earth's atmosphere at night record UV (300–400 nm) tracks generated by Extensive Air Showers produced primaries propagating in atmosphere. After briefing summarizing main aspects Instrument baseline, present, details, our studies trigger rate, estimated exposure, well on angular, energy, Xmax resolution....
The origin of cosmic rays have remained a mistery for more than century. JEM-EUSO is pioneer space-based telescope that will be located at the International Space Station (ISS) and its aim to detect Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) Extremely (EHECR) by observing atmosphere. Unlike ground-based telescopes, observe from upwards, therefore, properly UHECR reconstruction under cloudy conditions, key element an Atmospheric Monitoring System (AMS). This AMS consists space qualified...
The prediction of tree growth is key to further understand the carbon sink role forests and short-term forest capacity on climate change mitigation. In this work, we used large-scale data available from three consecutive inventories in a Euro-Mediterranean region Bertalanffy–Chapman–Richards equation model up decade’s size variation monospecific growing stages. We showed that tree-level fitting with ordinary differential equations can be forecast diameter across time space as function...
