Cosmic ray observations from Livingston Island
ORCA, from the Spanish name Observatorio de Rayos Cósmicos Antártico, is a cosmic ray detector devoted to the observation of secondary cosmic rays at Juan Carlos I Spanish Antarctic Base (62° 39′ 46″ S, 60° 23′ 20″ W, 12 m above sea level). ORCA was installed at the beginning of January 2019 after p...
