    The MEV project started in 2016 the construction of an innovative muon tracking telescope expressly designed for the muography of the Etna Volcano, in particular one of the active craters in its summit area. The telescope is a tracker based on extruded scintillating bars with WLS fibers and featuring an innovative read-out architecture. It is composed of 3×1 m2 XY planes; the angular...

    Novel theories beyond the Standard Model predict dark matter candidates that could provide a significant enhancement of the antideuteron and antiproton flux, in particular at low energies. The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) experiment is the first antimatter search experiment designed specifically for low-energy cosmic ray antideuterons and antiprotons.
    GAPS identifies antideuterons...

    The Gamma Ray Astronomy at Pev Energies phase-3 (GRAPES-3), experiment located in beautiful slopes of Nilgiris hills ,Ooty, India, consist of world class indigenously developed detector system. The core elements of the experiment are plastic scintillator (Sc) detector and proportional counter (PRC). A large array of 400 Sc detectors each having sensitive area of 1m2 are spread in field with...

    The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) plans to build a hybrid extensive air shower (EAS) array with an area of about 1 km2 at an altitude of 4410 m a.s.l. in Sichuan province, China, aiming for very high energy gamma ray astronomy and cosmic ray physics around the spectrum knees. With an extensive air shower array covering an area of 1.3 km2 equipped with >40,000 m2 muon...
