Glass-based charged particle detector performance for Horizon-T EAS detector system

Abstract

An implementation of a novel of glass-based detector with fast response and wide detection range is needed to increase resolution for ultra-high energy cosmic rays detection. Such detector has been designed and built for the Horizon-T detector system at Tien Shan highaltitude Science Station. The main characteristics, such as design, duration of the detector pulse and calibration of a single particle response are discussed
