Description

This work is dedicated to the development of a project aimed at the implementation of a relatively new method of studying the PCR - the registration of optical Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation, often called "Cherenkov light", from EAS (EAS CL), reflected from the snow surface. The objective of the project is to create an installation for the study of the cosmic ray mass composition in the energy range of 1-1000 PeV by detecting the reflected EAS CL. Silicon photomultipliers are planned to be used in the detector of the installation, and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, drone) will be used to lift the measuring equipment over the snow-covered surface.
