Description

Extensive air showers induced from high‐energy cosmic rays provide a window into understanding the most energetic phenomena in the universe. We report on visualizing high energy particles of these showers with the silicon imaging detector Subaru Hyper Suprime‐Cam. This method has the advantage of being able to measure individual secondary particles with unprecedented resolution and might be applicable for dark matter search. I will share an interdisciplinary project for combining the Subaru telescope and cosmic ray detectors to decipher details of extensive air showers, dubbed Air-shower Lensing Observatory at High Altitude (ALOHA).
