Abstract content

The space TUS detector of UV fluorescence light radiated by EAS of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) is under preparation. The TUS optical system will consist of the Fresnel mirror-concentrator of ~2 sq. m. and 256 PMT pixels as the photo receiver at the mirror focal surface. The 2 PMT pixel prototypes were tested and used for data taken at the “Universitetsky-Tatiana” and Compass-2 satellites. The R&D study of the Fresnel mirror production is presented.
