Study of UV atmospheric background for UHECR detection from space
Abstract content
We present the results of the studies of UV atmospheric flashes as a source of background in the detection of Ultra High Cosmic Rays from space. The data were obtained by using a UV detector in the Tatyana satellites I and II. Plans for near future in the new Satellite Lomonosov are presented.
