The last generation of Galactic cosmic-ray experiments (AMS-02, CALET, DAMPE, ISS-CREAM) is providing a wealth of high-precision new data. The interpretation of these data is stimulating a very rich and active debate in the community, with strong discovery and constraining potentials on many topics (dark matter, acceleration and transport of cosmic rays, Galactic sources etc.). However, the...
Reduced atmospheric interference, the potential of stable and long-term observations free from Earth's Magnetosphere combined with tectonic stability and a field of view encompassing the entire Earth's disk make the Moon extremely attractive for observing the Earth and studying the Universe. The Earth-Moon-Mars (EMM) project aims to capitalize on these advantages.
EMM is an NRRP-funded...
Particle physics detectors in space employ many of the same core technologies as ground-based detectors used in high-energy physics (HEP). The engineering requirements, such as lightweight structures, radiation tolerance, and mechanical stability, closely align with those of space applications, enabling a straightforward adaptation of detector technologies to space missions. However,...
