Funded Activity Summary
A particle detector array for the Murchison Widefield Array. The project will construct a particle detector array for the Murchison Widefield Array radio telescope. The array will identify cosmic ray interactions in the Earth's atmosphere, and trigger radio observations. The outcome will be a new capability to study the origin of the highest-energy particles in nature, cosmic rays, and discover new physical processes at energies unreachable by the Large Hadron Collider. The anticipated benefits are the establishment of the Murchison Widefield Array as a world-leading instrument for astroparticle physics; to lay the foundations for future research with the Square Kilometre Array; and to provide answers to long-standing scientific questions of public interest.Funded Activity Details
