Overall View of the JEM-EUSO Instruments

JEM-EUSO mission with a large and wide-angle telescope mounted on ISS has been planned to open up 'particle astronomy' through the investigation of extreme-energy cosmic rays by detecting fluorescent and Cherenkov photons by air showers developed in the earth's atmosphere. The JEM-EUS...

Description
Summary:JEM-EUSO mission with a large and wide-angle telescope mounted on ISS has been planned to open up 'particle astronomy' through the investigation of extreme-energy cosmic rays by detecting fluorescent and Cherenkov photons by air showers developed in the earth's atmosphere. The JEM-EUSO telescope consists of optical Fresnel lenses with a diameter of about 2.5 m, 300 k channels of MAPMT, frontend readout electronics, trigger electronics, and system electronics. An infrared camera and a LIDAR system will be used to monitor the earth's atmosphere.
