Abstract
This article overviews the performance of the Horizon-10T (H10T) detector system in Physics Run 1. The upgraded H10T detector system consists of ten charged particle detection points, separated by distances from a hundred meters up to 1.3 kilometer and is able to detect disks in primary particle energy ranges of 1016-1019 eV and zenith angles from 0° to 85° with a few ns precision.
Highlights
Horizon-10T (H10T) [1] detector system is an upgrade from the original Horizon-T (HT) [2, 3] experiment and is designed to further study the longitudinal and latitudinal structure of charged particles in Extensive Air Shower (EAS) disks
H10T consists of ten charged particle detection points that all have scintillator-based detectors and some have glassbased ones
The H10T detector system consists of detectors of several different types: plastic scintillator with Hamamatsu R7723 photoelectrical multipliers (PMT) detectors and glass with R7723 PMT detectors in detection points 1 through 8, plastic scintillator with Hamamatsu H6527 PMT in detection points 9 and 10, and a Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation detector with H6527 PMT assemblies that is located in detection point 1
Summary
Horizon-10T (H10T) [1] detector system is an upgrade from the original Horizon-T (HT) [2, 3] experiment and is designed to further study the longitudinal and latitudinal structure of charged particles in Extensive Air Shower (EAS) disks. It is located at the territory of the Tien Shan high-altitude Science Station at ∼3340 meters above sea level. H10T consists of ten charged particle detection points that all have scintillator-based detectors and some have glassbased ones.
