The National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) has the
objective to systematically index, edit, interconnect and make available
the valuable stock of data from science and research. PUNCH ( Particles, Universe, Nuclei and Hadrons for the NFDI) is the NFDI consortium representing about 9.000 scientists with a Ph.D. in Germany, from universities, the Max Planck society, the Leibniz Association, and the Helmholtz Association. PUNCH physics addresses the fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions, as well as their role for the development of the largest structures in the universe - stars and galaxies. |
Cosmic Ray DataBase (CRDB)
 |
The Cosmic Ray DataBase (CRDB) provides access to published data from missions dedicated to charged cosmic-rays measurements. Data are organized in a SQL database and can be searched through queries based on particle species, measurement of interest and/or name of the mission. Query results are accessible through a table, ready to be plotted, exported and downloaded in various formats. The set of returned information comprehends the published data points with associated uncertainties, and some meta-data. |
YerPhi
|
The Yerevan Physics Institute YerPhi was founded in 1943 as a branch of the
Yerevan State University by brothers Abraham Alikhanov and Artem Alikhanian. Later
two high-altitude cosmic ray stations were founded on Mount Aragats (3,200 m) and
Nor Amberd (2,000 m). In 2011 it was renamed to its current name A.I. Alikhanyan
National Science Laboratory. The high altitude research stations have remained the
main research base of the Cosmic Ray Division (CRD) of YerPhI until now. In the assembly of the ANI Cosmic Ray experiment two detectors measuring the Extensive Air Showers (EAS) are operated on the Aragats research station. The main goal of the GAMMA and Maket-Ani detectors are to investigate the energy spectra of cosmic rays to understand the origin and accelerator mechanisms. Both detectors use the same particle density detection techniques to determine the number of electrons in the shower and infer the energy and type of the primary particle. |
