Abstract

The goal of our study is to assess the environmental impact of the installation and use of the Giant Radio Array for Neutrino Detection (GRAND) prototype detection units, based on the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, and to propose recommendations that contribute to reduce the environmental impacts of the project at later stages. The functional unit, namely the quantified description of the studied system and of the performance requirements it fulfils, is to detect radio signals autonomously during 20 years, with 300 detection units deployed over 200 km 2 in the Gansu province in China (corresponding to the prototype GRANDProto300). We consider four main phases: the extraction of the materials and the production of the detection units (upstream phases), the use and the end-of-life phases (downstream phases), with transportation between each step. An inventory analysis is performed for the seven components of each detection unit, based on transparent assumptions. Most of the inventory data are taken from the Idemat2021 database (Industrial Design & Engineering Materials). Our results show that the components with the highest environmental impact are the antenna structure and the battery. The most pregnant indicators are 'resource use', mineral and metals'; 'resource use, fossils'; 'ionizing radiation, human health'; 'climate change'; and 'acidification'. Therefore, the actions that we recommend in the first place aim at reducing the impact of these components. They include limiting the mass of the raw material used in the antenna, changing the alloy of the antenna, considering another type of battery with an extended useful life, and the use of recycled materials for construction. As a pioneering study applying the LCA methodology to a large-scale physics experiment, this work can serve as a basis for future assessments by other collaborations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In this article we perform a simulation-based study of the shape of the electromagnetic wavefront of air showers induced by cosmic rays. We show that for showers with zenith angles larger than 60{\deg}, a point-source like description of the wave-front is sufficient and that the reconstructed position of this point-source is a potential proxy for the determination of the nature of the cosmic rays initiating the showers, with performances similar to those obtained using the depth of shower maximum.

Abstract

Radio-detection is becoming an established technique for the detection of air showers induced by cosmic particles. This is in particular true at the highest energies, where very large detection areas are required. A proper description of the shape of the radio wavefront emitted by air showers may allow to reconstruct the properties of its parent particle. In this article, we show that for showers with zenith angles larger than 60 ° – those targeted by giant radio arrays detecting extensive air showers induced by cosmic particles –, a point-source-like description of the radio wavefront allows to constraint the lateral position of the shower axis within a few meters. Following, we show that the reconstructed longitudinal position of this point source is correlated with the nature of the cosmic rays initiating the shower. Further systematic studies are pending to determine the robustness of this parameter and its validity as a proxy for cosmic ray composition studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

We present a pioneering estimate of the global yearly greenhouse gas emissions of a large-scale Astrophysics experiment over several decades: the Giant Array for Neutrino Detection (GRAND). The project aims at detecting ultra-high energy neutrinos with a 200,000 radio antenna array over 200,000\,km$^2$ as of the 2030s. With a fully transparent methodology based on open source data, we calculate the emissions related to three unavoidable sources: travel, digital technologies and hardware equipment. We find that these emission sources have a different impact depending on the stages of the experiment. Digital technologies and travel prevail for the small-scale prototyping phase (GRANDProto300), whereas hardware equipment (material production and transportation) and data transfer/storage largely outweigh the other emission sources in the large-scale phase (GRAND200k). In the mid-scale phase (GRAND10k), the three sources contribute equally. This study highlights the considerable carbon footprint of a large-scale astrophysics experiment, but also shows that there is room for improvement. We discuss various lines of actions that could be implemented. The GRAND project being still in its prototyping stage, our results provide guidance to the future collaborative practices and instrumental design in order to reduce its carbon footprint., 20 pages, 11 figures, 3 tables Accepted by Astroparticle Physics, minor changes

Abstract

CODALEMA is one of the pioneer experiments dedicated to the radio detection of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR), located at the radio observatory of Nançay (France). The CODALEMA experiment uses both a particle detector array and a radio antenna array. Data from both detection systems have been used to determine the ground coordinates of the core of extensive air showers (EAS). We discuss the observed systematic shift of the core positions determined with these two detection techniques. We show that this shift is due to the charge-excess contribution to the total radio emission of air showers, using the simulation code SELFAS. The dependences of the radio core shift to the primary cosmic ray characteristics are studied in details. The observation of this systematic shift can be considered as an experimental signature of the charge excess contribution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Autonomous radio-detection, i.e., detection of air-showers with standalone radio arrays, is one of the major technical challenges to overcome for the next generation astroparticle detectors. In this context, we study polarisation signatures of simulated radio signals to perform an identification of the associated air-showers initiated by cosmic-rays and neutrinos. We compare the two sources of radio emission (the charge excess and geomagnetic) and show that the former is almost negligible for inclined (zenith angle > 65 °) cosmic-ray air-showers. This provides an efficient background rejection criterion at the DAQ level, based on the projection of the total electric field along the direction of the local magnetic field. This relevant quantity can be computed, — even in an online treatment — for antennas measuring three orthogonal polarisations. Independently of the experimental antenna layout, we estimate that assuming a random polarisation of noise events, a rejection from ≈ 72 % (for a non favourable detector location) to ≈ 93 % (for a favourable one) of the noise induced events and a trigger efficiency of 86% (93%) with a 3 σ (5 σ) trigger threshold level should be achievable. We also show that neutrino-induced showers present a charge excess to geomagnetic signal ratio up to ∼ 10 times higher than for cosmic ray showers. Although this characteristic makes the identification of neutrino-induced showers challenging via the method developed here, it provides an efficient criterion to perform an offline discrimination between cosmic-ray and neutrino primaries. The stronger charge excess emission will also help the reconstruction of air-shower parameters, such as the core position. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Abstract: We present the design, implementation and data taking performance of the MIcrowave Detection of Air Showers (MIDAS) experiment, a large field of view imaging telescope designed to detect microwave radiation from extensive air showers induced by ultra-high energy cosmic rays. This novel technique may bring a tenfold increase in detector duty cycle when compared to the standard fluorescence technique based on detection of ultraviolet photons. The MIDAS telescope consists of a 4.5m diameter dish with a 53-pixel receiver camera, instrumented with feed horns operating in the commercial extended C-Band (3.4–4.2GHz). A self-trigger capability is implemented in the digital electronics. The main objectives of this first prototype of the MIDAS telescope – to validate the telescope design, and to demonstrate a large detector duty cycle – were successfully accomplished in a dedicated data taking run at the University of Chicago campus prior to installation at the Pierre Auger Observatory.

Abstract: An antenna array devoted to the autonomous radio-detection of high energy cosmic rays is being deployed on the site of the 21cm array radio telescope in XinJiang, China. Thanks in particular to the very good electromagnetic environment of this remote experimental site, self-triggering on extensive air showers induced by cosmic rays has been achieved with a small scale prototype of the foreseen antenna array. We give here a detailed description of the detector and present the first detection of extensive air showers with this prototype. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract

Abstract: The Antarctic Ross Ice Shelf Antenna Neutrino Array (ARIANNA) is a proposed detector for ultra-high energy astrophysical neutrinos. It will detect coherent radio Cherenkov emission from the particle showers produced by neutrinos with energies above about 1017 eV. ARIANNA will be built on the Ross Ice Shelf just off the coast of Antarctica, where it will eventually cover about 900km2 in surface area. There, the ice-water interface below the shelf reflects radio waves, giving ARIANNA sensitivity to downward-going neutrinos and improving its sensitivity to horizontally incident neutrinos. ARIANNA detector stations each will contain 4–8 antennas, which search for pulses of 50MHz to 1GHz radio emission from neutrino interactions. We describe a prototype station for ARIANNA, which was deployed in Moore’s Bay on the Ross Ice Shelf in December 2009, discuss the design and deployment, and present some initial figures on performance. The ice shelf thickness was measured to be 572±6m at the deployment site. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract

Neutrinos of astrophysical origin could be detected through the electromagnetic radiation of the particle showers induced in the atmosphere by their interaction in the Earth. This applies in particular for tau neutrinos of energies E > 1016eV following Earth-skimming trajectories. The ∼ 1 ° beaming of the radio emission in the forward direction however implies that the radio signal will likely fly above a detector deployed over a flat site and would therefore not be detected. We study here how a non-flat detector topography can improve the detection probability of these neutrino-induced air showers. We do this by computing with three distinct tools the neutrino detection efficiency for a radio array deployed over a toy-model mountainous terrain, also taking into account experimental and topographic constraints. We show in particular that ground topographies inclined by few degrees only induce detection efficiencies typically three times larger than those obtained for flat areas for favorable trajectories. We conclude that the topography of the area where the detector is deployed will be a key factor for an experiment like GRAND. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The very low statistics of cosmic rays above the knee region make their study possible only through the detection of the extensive air showers (EAS) produced by their interaction with the constituents of the atmosphere. The Pierre Auger Observatory located in Argentina is the largest high energy cosmic-ray detection array in the world, composed of fluorescence telescopes, particle detectors on the ground and radio antennas. The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) is composed of 153 autonomous radio stations that sample the radio emission of the extensive air showers in the 30 MHz to 80 MHz frequency range. It covers a surface of 17 km$^2$, has a 2$\pi$ sensitivity to arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) and provides a duty cycle close to 100\%. The electric field emitted by the secondary particles of an air shower is highly correlated to the primary cosmic ray characteristics like energy and mass, and the emission mechanisms are meanwhile well understood. In this contribution, recent progress on the reconstruction of the mass composition and energy measurements with AERA will be presented., Comment: XXV ECRS 2016 Proceedings - eConf C16-09-04.3

Abstract

International audience; Radio pulses associated with Extended Air Showers (EAS) produced in terrestrial atmosphere by High EnergyCosmic Rays (UHECR) of energy 10^17 eV and above, are now routinely observed by dedicated radioinstruments on ground. This may offer a new and appealing way for elucidating the nature and origin ofinvolved primary particles, an open question still unsolved.Unfortunately, the high occupancy of the electromagnetic spectrum by undesired signals from natural andanthropogenic origins has made unambiguous EAS radio detection a challenging problem. Former attemptsbased on timing coincidences from several independent radio antennas, or using auxiliary triggering byconventional particle detectors, are still not fully satisfying.We present here a solution based on real time, coherent radio detection by using a small array of 10x2 crosspolarized dipoles, distributed over a 150m x 150m surface area and operated in continuous sky surveyingmode.Preliminary results obtained with the new system are briefly reviewed and discussed.The final detection scheme will be achieved by using on line, fast computing software based on a dedicatedunsupervised recognition algorithm.The new array is a part of the CODALEMA experiment located in Nançay radio astronomy observatory(France).

Abstract

We describe the experimental setup and the results of RAuger, a small radio-antenna array, consisting of three fully autonomous and self-triggered radio-detection stations, installed close to the center of the Surface Detector (SD) of the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina. The setup has been designed for the detection of the electric field strength of air showers initiated by ultra-high energy cosmic rays, without using an auxiliary trigger from another detection system. Installed in December 2006, RAuger was terminated in May 2010 after 65 registered coincidences with the SD. The sky map in local angular coordinates (i.e., zenith and azimuth angles) of these events reveals a strong azimuthal asymmetry which is in agreement with a mechanism dominated by a geomagnetic emission process. The correlation between the electric field and the energy of the primary cosmic ray is presented for the first time, in an energy range covering two orders of magnitude between 0.1 EeV and 10 EeV. It is demonstrated that this setup is relatively more sensitive to inclined showers, with respect to the SD. In addition to these results, which underline the potential of the radio-detection technique, important information about the general behavior of self-triggering radio-detection systems has been obtained. In particular, we will discuss radio self-triggering under varying local electric-field conditions., Comment: accepted for publication in JINST

Abstract

37 pages, 15 figures Astroparticle Physics (in press). Trend; International audience; An antenna array devoted to the autonomous radio-detection of high energy cosmic rays is being deployed on the site of the 21 cm array radio telescope in XinJiang, China. Thanks in particular to the very good electromagnetic environment of this remote experimental site, self-triggering on extensive air showers induced by cosmic rays has been achieved with a small scale prototype of the foreseen antenna array. We give here a detailed description of the detector and present the first detection of extensive air showers with this prototype.

Abstract

The recent demonstration by the CODALEMA Collaboration of the ability of the radio-detection technique for the characterization of UHE cosmic-rays calls for the use of this powerful method for the observation of UHE neutrinos. For this purpose, an adaptation of the existing 21CM Array (China) is presently under achievment. In an exceptionally low electromagnetic noise level, 10160 log-periodic 50-200 MHz antennas sit along two high valleys, surrounded by mountain chains. This lay-out results in 30-60 km effective rock thicnesses for neutrino interactions with low incidence trajectories along the direction of two 4-6 km baselines. We will present first in-situ radio measurements demonstrating that this environment shows particularly favourable conditions for the observation of electromagnetic decay signals of taus originating from the interaction of 10^17-20 eV tau neutrinos., Comment: 4pages, 3 figures, Contribution to appear in the proceedings of ARENA 2008 conference

Abstract

Abstract: We present the first results of a set-up called TIANSHAN radio experiment for neutrino detection (TREND) being presently deployed on the site of the 21cm array (21CMA) radio telescope, in XinJiang, China. We describe here its detection performances as well as the analysis method we applied to the data recorded with a small scale prototype. We demonstrate the ability of the TREND set-up for an autonomous radio-detection of extended air showers induced by cosmic rays. The full set-up will consist of 80 antennas deployed over a 4km2 area, and could result in a very attractive and unequalled radio-detection facility for the characterization of showers induced by ultra-high energy neutrinos with energies around 1017 eV.

Abstract

Abstract: The recent demonstration by the CODALEMA collaboration of the ability of the radio-detection technique for the characterization of ultra-high-energy cosmic-rays (UHECR) calls for the use of this powerful method for the observation of UHE neutrinos. For this purpose, an adaptation of the already existing 21CM-Array (CMA) in China, is presently under achievement. In an exceptionally low electromagnetic noise level, 10160 log-periodic 50–200MHz antennas sit along two high-altitude valleys, surrounded by mountain chains. This layout results in 30–60km effective rock thicknesses for ν interactions with low incidence trajectories along the direction of two 4–6km baselines. We will present first in-situ radio measurements demonstrating that this environment shows particularly favourable physical conditions for the observation of electromagnetic decay signals of τ''s leptons originating from the interaction of 1017–20 eV ντ neutrinos.

Abstract

Abstract: The Pierre Auger Collaboration started an R&D task force to investigate the extension of the Observatory with a self-triggering antenna array for the detection of extensive air showers by their radio-signals. First signals measured with test-set-ups require establishing an environment for the analysis of data and simulations. Extending the general offline software framework developed within Auger for radio-detection offers many short-term as well as long-term benefits. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
