We present details of the construction and performance of a set of photosensitive chambers intended to detect ultraviolet Cherenkov light in cosmic-ray shower experiments. The particularly simple design of these chambers allows mass production and outdoor operation. Detection efficiency and sensitivity to a few photoelectrons have been measured at the predicted level. Bench test results are shown and performances in true outdoor operation are presented.

Abstract: | We present details of the construction and performance of a set of photosensitive chambers intended to detect ultraviolet Cherenkov light in cosmic-ray shower experiments. The particularly simple design of these chambers allows mass production and outdoor operation. Detection efficiency and sensitivity to a few photoelectrons have been measured at the predicted level. Bench test results are shown and performances in true outdoor operation are presented. | |
