The Development of Detectors of High Energy Neutrinos and Cosmic Rays between 1980 and 2000
A A Watson
Abstract
The construction of the DUMAND, Lake Baikal and IceCube detectors of high-energy neutrinos are discussed, with some emphasis on the difficulties encountered. The decade from 1990 marked the period in which the Auger Observatory was conceived and the Collaboration evolved. Again, the difficulties that were overcome to create the Observatory are described. For both IceCube and the Auger Observatory, claims made in the 1980s for the observation of PeV gamma-rays from Cygnus X-3, played a not-insignificant role in their advance.
