The atmosphere as particle detector

Abstract

The possibility of using an inflatable, gas‐filled balloon as a TeV γ‐ray detector on the Moon is considered. By taking an atmosphere of Xenon gas there, or by extracting it on the Moon, a layman’s detector design is presented. In spite of its shortcomings, the exercise illustrates several of the novel features offered by particle physics on the Moon.
