Two payloads, TERZINA and ZIRE', will be operated onboard the NUSES satellite.
TERZINA, a new optical telescope concept for astrophysical neutrinos, combines atmospheric Cherenkov light observation and the use of Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs), for the detection of high energy neutrinos and cosmic rays.
ZIRE` , also using SiPM technology, is devoted to flux measurements of cosmic electrons, protons and light nuclei with energies spanning from few to hundreds of MeVs, but also operating as X and gamma ray telescope in the MeV energy range. A Low Energy Module (LEM) is specifically designed to lower the detection threshold for electrons down to hundreds of keV.
ZIRÉ objectives also include the study of space weather phenomena and the hunting for possible correlations of the electron and proton fluxes with seismic activities through magnetosphere-ionosphere-lithosphere coupling (MILC) phenomena.
During this meeting, several groups participating to NUSES activities will discuss the status of the ongoing detector design and related simulation and data analysis strategies.
