“…The application that we consider is a natural fit for collaborative local data analysis. Therefore, a distributed system concept to detect high-energy cosmic-rays 2013 JINST 8 P03011 was proposed in [2]. However, the concept was not studied in further details.…”

“…This class of detectors also includes experiments measuring cosmic rays, high energy particles from space whose origin and acceleration mechanisms are still under debate. For example, the Pierre Auger Observatory consists of 1600 Surface Detector (SD) nodes spread over an area of around 3000 km 2 . Similarly, LOFAR (Low Frequency ARray) for radio astronomy contains 8000 sensors and is spread over an area of more than 100 km in diameter.…”

Exploring design tradeoffs of a distributed algorithm for cosmic ray event detection

Many sensor networks, including large particle detector arrays measuring high-energy cosmic-ray air showers, traditionally rely on centralised trigger algorithms to find spatial and temporal coincidences of individual nodes. Such schemes suffer from scalability problems, especially if the nodes communicate wirelessly or have bandwidth limitations. However, nodes which instead communicate with each other can, in principle, use a distributed algorithm to find coincident events themselves without communication with a central node. We present such an algorithm and consider various design tradeoffs involved, in the context of a potential trigger for the Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA).
