Descripción
Baikal-GVD is a neutrino telescope situated in the deepest freshwater lake in the world – Lake Baikal. It is a three-dimensional array of photo-multiplier tubes, that are arranged in independently working units called clusters. The main purpose of this telescope is to detect neutrinos via detecting the Cherenkov radiation of the secondary charged particles that are created in the interactions...
The KM3NeT infrastructure comprises a network of underwater neutrino telescopes in the Mediterranean Sea. Secondary particles, produced when neutrinos interact, emit Cherenkov photons which are measured by the KM3NeT detectors.
In order to precisely reconstruct muon tracks and showers, it is necessary to know the position of the photomultipliers with an accuracy of about 10 cm.
For this...
Our knowledge about the Earth's interior is mainly based on seismic measurements, cosmochemical and petrological constraints, and theories of Earth formation. Whereas the matter density profile is determined with a high precision, the chemical composition of the deep Earth can only be estimated indirectly. In particular the amount and nature of light elements in the Core remain controversial....
