Interdisciplinárne aplikácie pozorovania a výskumu kozmického žiarenia na pracovisku ÚEF SAV na Lomnickom štíte
Interdisciplinary applications of cosmic rays observation and research in the laboratory of Institute of Experimental Physics of SAS at the Lomnicky stit observatory
Program: VEGA
Project leader: Ing. Kubančák Ján, PhD.
Annotation: The goal of the project is to create conditions for the further development of interdisciplinary applications of cosmic radiation research at the ÚEF SAS workplace on Lomnické štít, mainly through: a) maintaining continuity in the field of cosmic radiation observation, b) innovation and workplace development a c) intensive scientific cooperation and promotion of the workplace.The project will focus on the analysis and evaluation of data recorded by the neutron monitor and the SEVAN device during the 24th and the first third of the 25th solar cycle. Scientific work will be intensified in the field of cooperation in the field of radiation protection against cosmic rays and in the field of development and testing of detectors in mixed radiation fields occurring at high-altitude observatories.One of the results of the project will be a retrospective analysis of the increased or decreased intensity of secondary cosmic radiation in the atmosphere during periods with significant fluctuations in solar activity that occurred in the years 2014-2024.

Analýza meraní z experimentov EUSO-SPB, Mini-EUSO a siete pozemných UV detektorov
Analysis of EUSO-SPB, Mini-EUSO and ground UV detectors experiments measurement
Program: VEGA
Project leader: RNDr. Bobík Pavol, PhD.
Annotation: JEM-EUSO experiment is a project to determine the origin of ultra high energy particles. Its two most important precursor experiments are EUSO-SPB and Mini-EUSO ones. Both of them will yield new data during the years 2017 and 2018. This project is aimed to data processing from both experiments and from the grid of terrestrial detectors of UV radiation. EUSO-SPB is a flight of NASA SPB balloon with EUSO detector which will start in April 2017 from New Zealand fot at least 50 days long flight. Mini-EUSO detector is miniature version of JEM-EUSO detector, which will monitor UV background onboard International Space Station. Mini-EUSO flight and the beginning of its at least half year measurements will start at the end of the year 2017. Department of space physics IEP is building at the same time a grid of terrestrial detectors of UV background, which will start continuos measurements on minimallly 4 positions during the year 2017. Their operation is planned over the full duration of this project.

Modulácia častíc kozmického žiarenia v Heliosfére
Cosmic rays modulation in the Heliosphere
Program: VEGA
Project leader: RNDr. Bobík Pavol, PhD.
Annotation: The aim of the project is to develop a set of models describing a modulation and distribution of cosmic rays (CR) in the Heliosphere. This set of models allow description of actual CR measurements in the Heliosphere,magnetosphere and Earth atmosphere.We would like to make this models accessible for wider scientific community via web pages or in the form of the source codes of the models.
