Abstract

We presented a balloon experiment EUSO-SPB2 for the study of ultrahigh and extremely high energy cosmic rays. The main characteristics of the fluorescent and Cherenkov telescopes and their scientific tasks are given. As part of the pre-flight preparation, the calibration of a multi-channel photodetector was carried out.

3. Fig. 2. On the left is the result of scanning the matrix of the photodetector module. The colour shows the efficiency of each pixel. The dark areas are the boundaries between the MAFEU. Scanning resolution - 200 × 200 points per side of the photodetector (side length 167 mm), LED wavelength - 375 nm. On the right is the dependence of the pixel efficiency on the discriminator threshold (s-curve calibration curves). Individual thresholds are set, at which the detection efficiency at a total threshold of 800 is maximum
