项目摘要

This CAREER proposal requests support for research and education in astroparticle physics, combining a program to develop low-power electronics for cosmic ray and neutrino detectors with an educational activity for high school teachers and students as well as university graduate and undergraduate students.The proposal outlines a program designed to develop portable, low-power consuming electronics for air fluorescence detectors which could function in self-contained units in environments such as the Utah desert or in space-based detectors. An intelligent trigger would be used to select potential ultra-high energy cosmic ray events using a low-power air fluorescence camera and only then would power-consuming electronics be activated. Plans include tests using the HiRes 2 detector in a remote part of the Utah desert.In the outreach effort of the proposal, the plan would involve high school teachers and university undergraduates building scintillation counters to detect high energy cosmic rays. These counters would then be moved to high schools in Utah and New Mexico to introduce high school students to the concepts and detector techniques of astroparticle physics. The high school program would focus on schools in Native American reservations in these states.

该职业建议请求支持Astroparpicle物理学研究和教育，结合一个计划，以开发宇宙射线和中微子探测器的低功耗电子设备以及针对高中教师和学生的教育活动，以及大学的毕业生以及大学的毕业生。该计划概述了一项旨在开发出可促进空中武器的机构的计划，该计划旨在为空中造成空中的范围，该计划能够在环境中进行自我启发，以实现空中武器，以实现自动化，以实施自动化，以实施自动化，以实施自动化，以实施自动化，以实施自动化的范围，该计划在自我范围内进行自我策略，以实施空中的效力或在太空探测器中。智能触发器将用于使用低功率空气荧光摄像头选择潜在的超高能宇宙射线事件，然后才能激活功率消耗的电子设备。计划包括在犹他州沙漠偏远地区使用雇用2检测器进行测试。在提案的宣传工作中，该计划将涉及高中教师和大学的大学生建造闪烁柜台以检测高能量宇宙射线。然后，这些计数器将移至犹他州和新墨西哥州的高中，向高中学生介绍Astroparpicle物理学的概念和探测器技术。高中计划将重点关注这些州的美国原住民预订的学校。
