Search for EAS candidates with the TUS/Lomonosov orbital experiment: Results of preliminary data reconstruction and analysis
Abstract:
The "Lomonosov" satellite, with the TUS instrument on board, was launched on April 28, 2016 on solar-synchronized orbit with altitude about 500 km. The main goal of TUS space experiment is to search Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) at E >∼70 EeV by measuring the fluorescence and Cherenkov radiation of extensive air showers (EASs) in the Earth's atmosphere. The TUS instrument's design and principles of operation are briefly presented. A multi-level algorithm for the search of EAS-like events was developed and applied to the TUS data set analysis. The preliminary results of the off-line reconstruction program for data analysis, search and study of candidates for the UHECR event are described.
