  1. Flavors of the Extreme Universe Space Observatory (EUSO) The JEM-EUSO and S-EUSO missions Andrea Santangelo Institut für Astronomie und Astrophysik Kepler Center for Astro and Particle Physics Karls Eberhard Universität Tübingen

  2. Outline • Why space? • The Basic concept: the EUSO mission • The near term future: JEM-EUSO • Technology • Status • The long term future: Super-EUSO • Science Requirements • Technological developments

  3. Why From Space ? “Although it is impossible to predict what Auger will find in the next few years, it seems certain that it will be necessary to monitor massive volumes of atmosphere to study charged cosmic rays and neutrinos with energies above 1020 eV. Observations from a space platform are likely to be essential, particularly for the study of very high energy neutrinos.” (from the “Statement by the Pierre Auger Collaboration on UHECR within the Cosmic Vision Process”, 2004).

  4. Has something changed from the time this statement was done?

  5. Clear Evidence of Suppression of Flux > 4 x 1019 eV • Rough agreement with HiRes at highest energies

  6. Open Questions remain • Is this the GZK suppression? Or are the source running out of fuel? • Do we have a high statistics description of the spectrum? • Do we see a recovery of the spectrum? • Has the spectrum an end? • A high precision measurement of the UHECR spectrum around and beyond the „GZK“ feature Some – but few (~1 with Auger) - events above 1020 eV Only a few per millenium per km2 above 1020 eV

  7. Where, Which, What are the sources? Science: 9 November 2007 First scan gave ψ < 3.1°, z < 0.018 (75 Mpc) and E > 56 EeV

  8. Sources of UHECR (4) • It‘s a question of Exposure… (Allard, 2007; Olinto et al., ICRC07) Armengaud, ICRC07 (Blasi & De Marco) (S-EUSO proposal, 2007)

  9. A key requirement for UHECR Astronomy • Identification of individual sources of UHECR and measurement of their energy spectrum

  10. Neutrinos at UHE?

  11. Kalashev et al., 2002 EUSO Red Book, 2004; Bottai, 2004 Mannheim, 1995 Protheroe & Johnson, 1995 Speculative models Astrophysical models Region of ‘safe’ neutrino astronomy ? Cosmogenic Neutrinos

  12. Constrains Semikoz & Sigl, 2004 SHDM models are strongly constrained by the absence of identified photon candidates in the Auger data Semikoz & Auger Collab., ICRC07 Strong constrains: Gamma-ray flux at GeV Auger results on photon

  13. Cosmogenic Neutrinos n - oscillation: ne : nm : nt 1 : 2 : 0 (at generic source) 1 : 1 : 1(at earth) max.mixing, 13=0 Berezinsky & Zatsepin, (1969, 1970) Berezinsky (2005)

  15. John Linsley in 1979 in the Field Committee Report of NASA “Call for Projects and Ideas in High Energy Astrophysics for the 1980s” The concept to observe, by means of Space Based devices looking at Nadir during the night, the fluorescence light produced by an EAS proceeding in the atmosphere In 1995 Yoshi Takahashi of UHA rediscovered the original idea and proposed the MASS program wich later became a reality with the OWL and EUSO studies

  30. Tilted mode (?) • Free Flyer • Variable orbit 1000 km • FOV

  31. the scientific requirements Effective Aperture E>5x106 km2 sr yr (Nadir Mode) Low energy threshold~100% @ E≤4 (goal 1) x1019 eV Average angular resolution Δα<2° (goal 1°) @ E≤1020 eV Energy resolution ΔE/E ≤ 0.1 @ E≤1019 eV EAS maximum determination ΔXMAX ≤ 50 (20) g cm-2 Orbit height  variable800 (goal 500) -1200 km Operational life 5 yr on-orbit operational life(goal is 10 years)

  32. Is such a challenging mission technologically and technically feasible ?

  33. Effort 1: Optics Light shield Focal surface 4.48 m Ø Entrance Pupil with correcting plate and/or filter • Schimdt Telescope, a single spherical mirror (Zerodur 1 mm thick)+ a front correcting plate 7.5 m

  34. Optics Deployability OWL Concept study Stecker et al. 2004 A 4 m  deployable mirror for LIDAR application is under development on a ESA contract (ITT AO/1-4629/NL/CP Ref. 2053, Advanced Lidar Concept, ALC) Courtesy of Carlo Gavazzi Space SpA

  35. Effort 2: Focal Surface • GAPD, Geiger Mode Avalanche Photodiodes is the baseline sensor • High filling factor • High detection efficiency (>60%) • Single Photon Counting 5x5 mm2 GAPD (SiPM) developed by MPI and MEPhl Otte, ICRC07 4x4 mm2 GAPD developed by FBK and IRST (Italy)

  36. Conclusions • JEM-EUSO is in Phase A Study, in the framework of the second call for the utilization of the japanese module of the ISS. If selected it will be launched in the 2013 time window. • JEM-EUSO is expected to significantly contribute to UHECR astronomy and possibly It will detect UHE Neutrino. But it will be also a pathfinder… • A Free Flyer Mission with an exposure of A> a few 106 km2sr yr +energy threshold of E<1019 eV hosting deployable Optics and High Quantum Efficiency Photo Sensors is feasible S-EUSO is being considered for “enabling technology” studies. • S-EUSO is expected to identify and study the spectral properties of celestial sources of Cosmic Rays. UHE Neutrino will be detected and studied, and new physics could emerge.
