| Research Abstract |
Our final goal is to study the origin of extreme high energy cosmic ray by observing UV florescence light from air showers which are produced by extreme high energy cosmic ray in the Earth's atmosphere. We have developed three Fresnel lenses and photo sensor modules. These products are used on a ballooon to observe the air showers from above(altitude about 40km). The balloon experiment is sponsored and carried forth by CNES (French Space Agency), with the first flight being scheduled on August 19th 2014 from Timmins base, Canada. The whole balloon system has been successfully integrated in Toulose.
