Search for emission of gamma-ray bursts with the ARGO-YBJ detector
The ARGO-YBJ experiment has been designed to decrease the energy threshold of tipical Extensive Air Shower arrays by exploiting the high altitude location (Tibet P.R. China, 4300 m a.s..l.) and the full coverage. The lower energy limit of the detector (a few GeV) is reached with the single particle technique, recording the counting rate at fixed time intervals. We present the first results concerning the search for emission from Gamma-Ray Bursts in coincidence with satellite detections
First results on the angular resolution of the ARGO-YBJ detector
We present the first results on the angular resolution of the ARGO-YBJ detector
in data taking at the Yangbajing Laboratory (Tibet, P.R. China, 4300 m a.s.l.)
Status of the ARGO-YBJ experiment
The ARGO-YBJ experiment, under construction at the Yangbaijing Laboratory (P.R.
China, 4300 m a.s.l.), is a full coverage detector of dimension 74£78 m2 made by a single layer
of Resistive Plate Counters. About 10% of the final active area (» 700 m2) is in stable operation
to check the detector performance and the reconstruction algorithms. In this paper the status of the
experiment and the analysis of the first data are presented
