Visualization of the Cosmic Rays Using 3D and Augmented Reality Techniques

Published:25 June 2019Publication History

ABSTRACT

The cosmic rays are formed mainly by protons and atomic nuclei that originate from extraterrestrial sources and continuously reach Earth's atmosphere. When they reach the atmosphere, they are fragmented into smaller pieces producing cascades of secondary particles. The analysis of secondary particles that reach the surface, by specific detectors, can provide very valuable information about different events such as; the activity of the sun, changes in the geomagnetic field or data on the atmosphere. The measures developed are influenced by the environment in which the detector is installed, since various elements of the building or environment in which it is located can interact with the rays. In this document, we present the novel application to the visualization of the cosmic rays measured in a high-resolution detector by 2D, 3D and augmented reality techniques. The detector used is located at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain and is known as TRAGALDABAS.
