Inter-calibration of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes with UAV-based airborne calibration system (2022)
Journal Article
Brown, A. M., Muller, J., de Naurois, M., & Clark, P. (2022). Inter-calibration of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes with UAV-based airborne calibration system. Astroparticle Physics, 140, Article 102695. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.astropartphys.2022.102695

The recent advances in the flight capability of remotely piloted aerial vehicles (here after referred to as UAVs) have afforded the astronomical community the possibility of a new telescope calibration technique: UAV-based calibration. Building upon... Read More about Inter-calibration of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes with UAV-based airborne calibration system.

Gadolinium loaded Cherenkov detectors for neutron monitoring in high energy air showers (2022)
Journal Article
Stowell, P., Fargher, S., Thompson, L., Brown, A., & Chadwick, P. (2022). Gadolinium loaded Cherenkov detectors for neutron monitoring in high energy air showers. Journal of Instrumentation, 17(02), https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/17/02/t02005

Monitoring of high energy cosmic ray neutrons is of particular interest for cosmic ray water Cherenkov detectors as intense bundles of delayed neutrons have been found to arrive after the initial passage of a high energy air shower. In this paper we... Read More about Gadolinium loaded Cherenkov detectors for neutron monitoring in high energy air showers.
