elements needed to understand APP detectors
• interaction of particles with air and water (ice)– scintillation– cerenkov radiation
• photomultipliers– time measurement– energy measurement
• position sensitive chambers– MWPC– streamer tubes
• em and hadronic showers– radiation length, interaction length
• Lorentz transformation• EAS
– direction measurement– energy measurement– primary particle
