Abstract
KCDC, the ‘KASCADE Cosmic-ray Data Centre’, is a web portal, where data of astroparticle physics experiments will be made available for the interested public. The KASCADE experiment, financed by public money, was a large-area detector for the measurement of high-energy cosmic rays via the detection of air showers. KASCADE and its extension KASCADE-Grande stopped finally the active data acquisition of all its components including the radio EAS experiment LOPES end of 2012 after more than 20 years of data taking. In a first release, with KCDC we provide to the public the measured and reconstructed parameters of more than 160 million air showers. In addition, KCDC provides the conceptional design, how the data can be treated and processed so that they are also usable outside the community of experts in the research field. Detailed educational examples make a use also possible for high-school students and early stage researchers.
Highlights
The aim of the project KCDC – KASCADE Cosmic-ray Data Centre [1] is the installation and establishment of a public data centre for high-energy astroparticle physics based on the data of the KASCADE experiment
About 160 million events had been made available at KCDC for public usage
With KCDC, we provide to the public the edited data via a custom-made web page
