The TRASGO Project. Present Status and Results

The TRASGO project develops high resolution tracking detectors, sensitive to single electrons and muons as well as to bundles of both kinds of particles. Two detectors are now operative and two more stations will start taking data for atmospheric studies soon. Thanks to the identification capability...

Description
Summary:The TRASGO project develops high resolution tracking detectors, sensitive to single electrons and muons as well as to bundles of both kinds of particles. Two detectors are now operative and two more stations will start taking data for atmospheric studies soon. Thanks to the identification capability of the detectors, they are well suited to estimate the arrival rates of primary cosmic rays with different energy thresholds. This is validated after performing several simulations and opens new possibilities in the research of cosmic rays from ground-based detectors.
