By using a very detailed simulation scheme, we have calculated the cosmic ray background flux at 13 active Colombian volcanoes and developed methodology to identify most convenient places for muon telescope study their inner structure. Our scheme considers three critical factors with different spatial time scales: geo-magnetic effects, development of extensive air showers in atmosphere, detector response ground level. The energy dissipation along path crossing geological structure is modeled...
Muon radiography, also known as muography, is a non-destructive geophysical technique for the study of internal structure large objects such volcanoes. This possible by constructing an image based on differential absorption directional flux high-energy atmospheric muons produced during interaction cosmic rays with atmosphere. So this no other source radiation required technique. Many muon telescopes are being built crossed scintillator bars and so, resolution each panel essentially given...
We discuss a methodology to identify observation points for muongraphy of active Colombian Volcanoes and it is found that only Cerro Machin can be studied.
We describe the Muography Program to study Colombian volcanoes. Mainly, we discuss criteria adopted for designing, building, and commissioning MuTe: a hybrid Muon Telescope. MuTe implements composite detection technique combining hodoscope particle tracking water Cherenkov detector enhancing muon-to-background-signal separation of extended air showers. Next, detailed digital twin employed estimate instrument's response muon flux its impact on design performance. The impinging calculation...
In March 2019 a Space Weather Laboratory was deployed at Marambio base in the Antarctic Peninsula. The main instrument installed cosmic ray detector based on water Cherenkov radiation. This is first permanent node of LAGO Collaboration (Latin American Giant Observatory). Project an extended Astroparticle Observatory and it mainly oriented to basic research three branches physics: Extreme Universe,Space phenomena, Atmospheric Radiation ground level. program directed towards study how...
Atmospheric conditions affect the development of cascades secondary particles produced by primary cosmic rays. Global Data Assimilation System, implementing atmospheric models based on meteorological measurements and numerical weather predictions, could significantly improve outcomes simulations for extensive air shower. In this work, we present a methodology to simulate effect in particle flux at Earth's surface. The method was implemented Bucaramanga-Colombia, using ARTI: complete...
Solar activity was intense in September 2017 and its effects were observed different detectors placed at the Earth's surface. Three halo Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) hit planet caused magnetic storms. The of CMEs on flux galactic cosmic rays ground level by Tanca detector, which is one water-Cherenkov (WCD) that make up Latin American Giant Observatory (LAGO). In this paper we present detection Forbush events during month 2017. This WCD installed campus University Campinas, Brazil, having...
The LAGO (Latin American Giant Observatory) observatory is an experiment that spans over Latin America in a wide range of latitudes gives different rigidity cut offs for the enter cosmic rays atmosphere. motivation Observatory to study atmospheric radiation and space weather through measurement secondary emission low energy at ground level using Water Cherenkov Detectors (WCD). This work presents contributions collaboration 2019 36th ICRC.
Los eventos de emisión acústica (EA) también denominada microsísmica alta frecuencia son generados en la roca por formación fisuras sometidas a tensión mecánica. Éste fenómeno ha proporcionado base un método que permite detectar áreas micro y macro fisuración o zonas alto estrés rocas sin conocer las propiedades mecánicas el estado esfuerzos. Esta tesis apunta desarrollar una metodología análisis datos combine estudio los parámetros clásicos EA, localización fuentes emisoras ondas elásticas...
