Probing Fundamental Physics With Multi-Modal Cosmic Ray Events
The Horizon-T experiment in Tien Shan is based on the idea of measuring the
time at which EAS disc passes the observation level with nanosecond accuracy.
The detector system consists of ten charged particles registration points
located at distances of up to several hundred meters from each other. The
points are equipped with detectors based on registration of Cherenkov radiation
in glass and registration of scintillation light in polystyrene. The detectors
register the arrival times of charged particles at the observation level with a
resolution of ~2 ns, as required to study the spatial and temporal
characteristics of the EAS and the structure of the multi-modal events
specifically. Over the period of the Horizon-T data taking since 2017 to
present, a large number of multi-modal events were detected. The data has
presented numerous challenges that show the direction towards the further
development of the detector system and of the analysis methods and techniques
that could be applied to these multi-modal events.Comment: White paper contribution to Snowmass 2021 (CF7) (minor typo fixes).
