Laboratory for Detection of Particles and Radiation

DAQ system for the Victor Hugo Ponce telescope on the lab bench

The laboratory is a joint effort from the Particles and Field group and the High Energy Technology and Research division.

Projects

Among the many projects developed in the lab, the main ones are:

LAGO, the Large Aperture GRB Observatory, for which a Nexys2-based DAQ board was designed
ASCII, an extension to the Pierre Auger Observatory based on scintillator detectors
FOG, a satellite-borne fluorescence telescope to study the atmosphere from a GEO position
Telescopio Victor Hugo Ponce, a prototype for GHz observation of Cosmic Rays
