Plastic scintillators are widely used for anti-coincidence systems and nuclei identification in satellite experiments. For this reason, a plastic scintillator detector (PSD) must have a high detection efficiency for charged cosmic rays and a very good capability in measuring nuclei charge. We implemented a full and customizable simulation tool to investigate the performance of a PSD coupled to...

The transfer to satellite-based applications of the silicon monolithic pixel technology can enable a higher particle detector granularity without increasing the number of bonding interconnections. However, power consumption and heat dissipation are issues to be dealt with for enabling such developments. This contribution will present a low-power sparsified readout architecture for the...

Satellite experiments for gamma-ray and cosmic ray detection employ plastic scintillators to discriminate charged from neutral particles for gamma-ray identification. The future High Energy Cosmic Radiation Detection (HERD) facility will be able to detect cosmic rays and gamma rays up to TeV energies. The plastic scintillator detector (PSD) will consist of scintillator tiles or bars coupled to...

The TAIGA gamma observatory is continuing its deployment at Tunka valley, close to Baikal lake. The new, original detectors, able to work in severe conditions of Siberia were developed to increase the TAIGA power for the study of gamma-quanta at energies about 1 PeV and above. The distinguishing feature of the detectors is the use of the wavelength shifting light guides for scintillation light...

Unprecedented mass-production of large-area lithium-drifted silicon (Si(Li)) detectors has been performed for the General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS). GAPS is the first experiment optimized for low-energy cosmic antinuclei. The first long-duration Antarctic balloon flight is scheduled for late 2022. A large-volume silicon tracker plays an essential role in the novel GAPS detection...

The Pierre Auger Observatory consists of a detector system to study ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. These cosmic rays can be detected only through the observation of extensive air showers, i.e. cascades of secondary particles induced in the atmosphere. The hybrid detection of air showers at the Observatory is based on the Surface Detector (SD) - an array of about 1660 water-Cherenkov detectors,...
