Optimization of Cosmic Radiation Detection in Saline Environment

Abstract

Following the interaction of a neutrino with saline environment, the Cherenkov cone will be generated. The electromagnetic effect of the Cherenkov cone is perpendicular to the cone generator and it has the energy directly proportional to the neutrino energy. In the saline environment, neutrinos with very high energies (noise-115 dBm) can be determined. Investigation of these neutrinos will lead to the construction of a Cherenkov detector. The construction of a Cherenkov detector involves the design and the construction of a very large number of detection elements and of cascade amplifiers. Another necessary condition is to know exactly the distribution of the dielectric parameters of the saline environment. In order to know the distribution of the dielectric parameters of the saline environment, it is necessary to make a map of their distribution. Under these conditions, the number of detection elements will be optimized and also the optimal position of the future Cherenkov detector will be determined. In this chapter, we will present the methodology of calculating the detection elements and a method to determine the dielectric parameters. Measurements of attenuation of the propagation of electromagnetic waves in this environment will be presented. We will detail how to optimize a Cherenkov detector.

The Application of Electromagnetic Sensors for Determination of Cherenkov Cone Inside and in the Vicinity of the Detector Volume in Any Environment Known

“…The creation of a database with the map of the spatial distribution of the dielectric parameters of the saline environment, will result in the establishment of the locations of the detection elements inside and outside the volume of a Cherenkov detector, based on iterative Equations [ 29 ].…”

“…To make the measurements in the salt block, of the dielectric parameters of saline environment, we designed and executed a system consisting in an emission element, a reception electromagnetic sensor, an Anritsu MS2690A signal analyzer, and two adaptive circuits with the cables for links (CDF400, RG58LL). The measurement system is inserted into the salt block in the horizontal and vertical plane [29,30].…”
