DEVICE TO DETECT DIRECTION OF ARRIVAL OF EXTENDED AIR SHOWERS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01T1/20 

FIELD: measurement equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of registration of extended air showers (EAS) on the Earth surface and may be used to investigate primary cosmic rays. The substance of the invention consists in the fact that the device to detect direction of arrival of extended air showers (EAS) comprises multiple space diversity detectors of cosmic rays. Detectors are included into clusters (1), outlets of clusters are connected via a common bus with inlets of a unit of data collection from clusters (2), the outlet of the unit of data collection from clusters is connected with the inlet of the unit of EAS direction vector detection (4), which is equipped with a unit of storage of local vectors (3), connected with it with a common bus, the outlets of the unit of EAS direction vector detection (4) are connected with inlets of the memory unit (5) and unit of data visualisation (6), connected by a common bus; the cluster includes at least three detectors (7), the outlets of which are connected with inlets of the unit of time analysis (8), outlets of the time analysis unit (8) are connected to the inlets of the event selection unit (9), outlets of the unit of event selection (9) are connected with inlets of the local direction detection unit (10), outlets of the unit of local direction detection (10) are connected with inlets of the data storage and transmission unit (11).

EFFECT: application of a device to detect direction of arrival of extended air showers regardless of relief and other features of the area.
