A New Air- Cerenkov Array at the South Pole

VULCAN comprises a 9 element array of air- Cerenkov radiation detectors established at the South Pole. VULCAN operates in coincidence with the air-shower array SPASE-2 and the two Antarctic Muon And Neutrino Detector Arrays, AMANDA A and B, supplementing the data gathered by these instruments with a...

Description
Summary:VULCAN comprises a 9 element array of air- Cerenkov radiation detectors established at the South Pole. VULCAN operates in coincidence with the air-shower array SPASE-2 and the two Antarctic Muon And Neutrino Detector Arrays, AMANDA A and B, supplementing the data gathered by these instruments with a measurement of the lateral distribution of air- Cerenkov light from extensive air-showers. An overview of the aims and methods of the whole coincidence experiment: SPASE-2, VULCAN and AMANDA can be found in an accompanying paper [1].
