4.1.1. Description of the legal entity and its main tasks
4.1.1.1. CNRS
Main organisation of multidisciplinary research in France, CNRS conducts research in all
scientific, technological and societal areas. It covers the entire spectrum of scientific fields, whether
mathematics, physics, science and information technology and communications, nuclear physics
and high energy sciences planet and the universe, chemistry, life sciences, humanities and social
sciences, environmental sciences or engineering sciences. CNRS is present in all major disciplines
grouped into ten institutes, from which three of them are national institutes, like the Institut national
de physique nucléaire et physique des particules (IN2P3) which would participate directly to
UVMINITEL. CNRS develops, so privileged, collaborations between specialists of different
disciplines , especially with the University, opening new fields of investigations that meet the needs
of the economy and society. Interdisciplinary research activities are carried out in particular in the
following areas : "The Life and social issues ", " Information, communication and knowledge," "
Environment , energy and sustainable development ',' Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials ",
" Astrophysics : particles in the Universe.
The National Institute of Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics ( IN2P3) mission is to promote and
unify the research activities in the fields of nuclear physics, particle physics and astroparticle
physics . It coordinates the programs in these areas on behalf of the CNRS and universities, in
partnership
with
the
CEA.
This research aims to explore the physics of elementary particles, their core and their assemblies
nuclei interactions , to study the properties of these nuclei and explore the connections between the
infinitely small and the infinitely large.
If these themes represent the heart of the discipline, IN2P3 also aims to provide its expertise to
other scientific fields, as well as solving some problems of society, and to participate in the training
of young alongside the University. He finally duty to benefit the world of business expertise to
industry disseminating technological resources it has developed in the context of its research
activities.
4.1.1.2. INFN
The Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) is the Italian research agency dedicated to the
study of the fundamental constituents of matter and the laws that govern them, under the
supervision of the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR). It conducts theoretical
and experimental research in the fields of subnuclear, nuclear and astroparticle physics. All of the
INFN’s research activities are undertaken within a framework of international competition, in close
collaboration with Italian universities on the basis of solid academic partnerships spanning decades.
Fundamental research in these areas requires the use of cutting-edge technology and instruments,
developed by the INFN at its own laboratories and in collaboration with industries. Today the INFN
employs some 5,000 scientists whose work is recognized internationally not only for their
contribution to various European laboratories, but also to numerous research centers worldwide.
Scientific activities are managed by five National Scientific Committees (CSN) that act as
advisory bodies to the governing council. Each CSN is concerned with a specific line of research:
subnuclear physics (CSN1), astroparticle physics (CSN2), nuclear physics (CSN3), theoretical
physics (CSN4), technological and inter-disciplinary research (CSN5).
Experiments in astroparticle physics study radiation and cosmic particles. Laboratories on the
ground, underground, under the sea, at high altitudes and in space provide the natural settings for
these experiments. At the Gran Sasso National Laboratory, the biggest underground laboratory in
the world, cutting-edge detectors are currently being used to study the dark matter, neutrinos and
rare phenomena that can only be detected in conditions of “cosmic silence”, guaranteed by the
protection of the rock. The environment protected against penetration by cosmic rays is also ideal
for astrophysics research, such as the study of solar neutrinos and supernova neutrinos.
Astroparticle physics has also found new openings in different environments: in space, where
satellite detectors have direct access to primary cosmic rays that would be mitigated by the
atmosphere on the earth’s surface; high-altitude laboratories, for high-energy gamma-ray
astronomy; laboratories under the sea for astronomy with high-energy neutrinos, which travel
unhindered through the entire globe before being detected by detectors on the seafloor. Italian
physicists also carry out pioneering work in the measurement of gravitational waves, both using
resonant bar antennae and in developing large interferometric detectors.
4.1.1.3. NCBJ

Digital Electronics : the Planck Missions
The Planck group at LAL is involved in the physics of the early universe and in particular the
extent
of
the
cosmic
microwave
background
(CMB)
.
Planck is an observation of the CMB whose launch was made on 14 May 2009 by the Ariane 5
rocket satellite mission. The collaboration brings together about 400 people on two instruments
(LFI and HFI ) . Planck is located 1.5 million km from Earth ( the Lagrange point L2). These
measures will allow the study of anisotropies in temperature and polarization of the cosmic
microwave background , thus leading to a better understanding of the early universe , its geometry
and composition . Having been heavily involved in the realization of the onboard computer ( DPU )
and the calibration of the instrument , the group now participates extensively in the preparation of
data analysis within the Core Team. To follow the evolution of the coverage of the sky observed by

Instrumentation in Astroparticles : Pierre Auger Observatory
The Auger Observatory (Pierre Auger Observatory) is the largest cosmic ray detector in the world.
It is designed for the detection and study, with unprecedented accuracy, cosmic rays with energies
around and above the GZK spectral power, that is to say above 1019 eV. Within the limits of our
knowledge, there is no conventional explanation of the mechanisms that are responsible for the
generation and acceleration of particles to such macroscopic energies. The Pierre Auger project is
the only proposed by the scientific community to solve this puzzle astrophysics old over 30 years
average. To know the origin of cosmic rays, researchers have invested the Argentine pampas where
they installed the largest detector in the world. The fluorescence telescopes are installed on 3000
km2 around the city MALARGUE.
Instrumentation in JEM-EUSO
JEM-EUSO -- Based on the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) on the International Space
Station, JEM-EUSO is a new type of observatory that will utilize very large volumes of the earth's
atmosphere as a detector of the most energetic particles in the Universe. JEM-EUSO (EUSO for
"Extreme Universe Space Observatory") observes the brief flashes of light in the earth's atmosphere
caused by particles arriving from deep space. The key element of the sensor is a very wide-field,
very fast, large-lense telescope that can detect extreme energy particles with energy above 1019 eV.
Every 90 minutes, JEM-EUSO orbits the earth, mounted to the International Space Station (ISS) at
an altitude of approximately 400km. An extreme energy cosmic ray particle with the energy higher
than about 1019 eV will occasionally approach the earth's atmosphere -- when it enters, the particle

collides with a nucleus of an air atom and produces an Extensive Air Shower (EAS) that consists of
numerous electrons, positrons, and photons. JEM-EUSO captures the moving track of the resulting
fluorescent UV photons every several micro seconds, and reproduces the development of air shower
with very high precision through the atmosphere, measuring accurately the positions and energy of
the shower. The shower is kilometers wide, and many kilometers long. These time-segmented
images - in some ways, a "movie" of this cosmic scale event -- allow JEM-EUSO scientists to
measure the energies and directions of the primary particles. The instantaneous aperture of JEMEUSO is larger than that of successful Pierre Auger Observatory by a factor of 50 - 250, and hence
follows in its tradition, but with greatly improved powers.
Instrumentation in EUSO-BALLOON. BALLOON-EUSO is a partnership project of the
international consortium JEM-EUSO and CNES that aims to fly over several campaigns in 2013, a
prototype fluorescence telescope aboard a stratospheric balloon CNES. The objective of this type of
mission is to test the validity of concepts and technical choices made today for the JEM-EUSO
space mission scheduled for 2017 or any subsequent project aimed at achieving an observatory of
giant
air
showers
induced
by
energetic
cosmic
rays
from
space.
The design and the construction of this telescope is a real technical challenge, as it involves the use
of new technologies from the laboratories of both industrial and research laboratories in areas as
diverse as optical large and accurate Fresnel lenses, a technique of photodetection highly sensitivive
and good resolution, and very innovative analog and digital electronics. The aim of the project
EUSO-BALLOON is threefold:
1. Test all the technologies developed for JEM-EUSO under very severe operating
conditions(stratosphere), partly representative of some conditions that would have to meet any
telescope fluorescence light space (accommodated on the ISS or in free flight on a satellite),
2. To measure the intensity of the atmospheric airglow with an appropriate angular resolution for
JEM-EUSO, this continuous background requiring to be subtracted to any measured signal,
3. To highlight the ability of such an instrument to detect air showers from space (above the
measured background level from the Airglow).
4.1.2.2. INFN
Space mission PAMELA (Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light-nuclei
Astrophysics) on board the Russian Satellite Resurs DK-1. In orbit and running since 2006,
dedicated to long duration measurements of the cosmic radiation (particles and antiparticles, nuclei
and isotopes ) over an extended energy range, to study cosmic-ray acceleration and propagation
mechanisms, Earth’s Magnetosphere and to the detection of Solar Energetic Particles (SEP) events
and solar phenomena and their connections to Space Weather.
Space missions NINA-1 and NINA-2 (New Instrument for Nuclear Physics), to detect cosmic ray
nuclei of galactic, solar, anomalous and trapped origin, launched in 1998 on board the Russian
satellite Resurs-01-N4 and in 2000 on board the Italian satellite MITA, respectively.
Stratospheric balloon flights (MASS, TS93, CAPRICE) performed with the NASA Scientific
Balloon Facility in the late 80’s and 90’s as precursor experiments (at the top of atmosphere) of the
activities carried out in space. The aim of these flights (five in total) were, on one side, to achieve
more scientific insight on the production and transport of cosmic rays in our galaxy and on the
antimatter content of cosmic radiation, on the other side to test and apply particle detector
technology for activities in space.
Development of Silicon Technology for Space.
Activities related to the development of silicon technology have been carried out, both for balloon
flights and for satellite missions, in the design, test and implementation of several state-of-the-art
detectors and devices. Silicon particle detectors (tracking systems, calorimeters) and Silicon

Photomultipliers (SiPMs) - one of the driving R&D activities in the INFN programs - have shown
to be a reliable and consolidated technology for space research and applications.
4.1.2.3. NCBJ
NCBJ (in collaboration with APC, Paris-7) is developing the high voltage power supply (HVPS)
for JEM-EUSO. HVPS is designed to power multianode photomultipliers (MAPMT). We have
made a functional prototype consuming 400 times less power than a standard solution powering
MAPMT with resistive divider. We also developed design and prototypes of fast HV switches
which allow to reduce MAPMT sensitivity by factor up to 10^6.
NCBJ (in collaboration with APC, Paris-7) made the high voltage power supply (HVPS) for
EUSO-BALLOON. HVPS of JEM-EUSO type was equipped with DC-DC converter (with
redundancy) providing full galvanic insulation and the communication system. One HVPS unit has
9 HV generators, each powering 4 MAPMTs, and might be set independently. Each of 9 HV
generators have 3 fast HV switches. The HVPS unit was closed in 2 small iron boxes, and potted.
Design has been done in NCBJ in Łódź, assembly in PRINTOR, and tests in APC
4.1.2.4. NCBJ & PRINTOR
NCBJ has made a design and project, whereas Printor has manufactured circuits for the prototype
(EM – engineering model) of the high voltage power supply (HVPS) unit for the POLAR
experiment in 2012. The QM (qualification models) versions of HVPS were made in Switzerland
according to our design. POLAR is a project of space borne polarisation Compton telescope.
POLAR should be launch in 2015. POLAR Collaboration consists from Swiss, Chinese and Polish
institutes. The HVPS for POLAR powers 25 of H8500 type multianode photomultipliers, and in
technical solution and functionality is very different from HVPS anticipated for this project.

He received his degree in Physics at the University of Rome “La Sapienza” with a thesis in
Experimental Particle Physics.
His main activity and scientific interests are related to space researches conducted with techniques
and instrumentation used in elementary particle physics.
Since the late 80’s, this activity has been carried out in the field of Astroparticle Physics with
experiments on board Stratospheric Balloons, small and large size Satellites, Russian MIR Space
Station and NASA International Space Station. It has mainly concerned the study of the electronic,
nuclear and isotopic component of the cosmic rays, with special regard to the search for antimatter
and signals of dark matter, the study of the radiation environment within the MIR and ISS Space
Stations and the study of the effects of the ionizing radiation on the central nervous system of
astronauts in space.
It started with stratospheric balloon campaigns in USA and Canada, aimed the detection of
antiprotons, positrons, electrons, protons and light nuclei at the top of atmosphere. These campaigns
have been conducted in the frame of an International Collaboration including the NASA GSFC,
American, Swedish and German Universities, the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and six INFN
Sections and Laboratories, under the acronyms MASS and WIZARD (MASS-1 and 2, TS93,
WIZARD/CAPRICE 94, WIZARD/CAPRICE 97-98).
They were followed and extended, in the frame of an international agreement on scientific space
programs (RIM, Russian Italian Missions) between INFN, ASI and the Russian Space Agency and
Russian, German and Swedish Universities and Institutions, by the space experiments Si-Eye 1 and
2 (1995, 1998) on board the MIR Space Station, NINA-1 (1998), NINA-2/MITA (2000) on board
russian and italian satellites, Si-Eye 3 (2002) on board the International Space Station and, finally,
by the mission PAMELA – launched in June 2006 from Baikonur (Kazakhstan) on board a Russian
satellite Resurs DK-1 – dedicated to the extensive search of antimatter and dark matter signals in
the cosmic radiation. The mission, after its nominal three years of operation, thanks to the excellent
performance of the satellite, has been extended till at least the end of 2015, thus more than doubling
the statistics of the data and extending the observations for more than half a solar cycle.
Currently, PAMELA daily sends some 16 Gigabytes of data to ground. Of remarkable scientific
importance are the results obtained on the antiproton-proton ratio – published in Physical Review
Letters - and those on the positron-electron ratio – published in Nature – which have produced a
great interest also outside the scientific community of reference. The positron data are interpreted
by many theorists as dark matter signals, even if other more conservative astrophysical hypotheses
are being considered. Other very relevant recent results are the measurement of the different
spectrum (an unexpected result) of proton and Helium in the cosmic rays (published in Science), the
discovery of a trapped antiproton belt around the Earth (published in Astrophysical Journal), the
measurement of the cosmic-ray electron flux up to 625 GeV and the observation of Solar Particle
Events (Solar flares).
Since 2007, he has started to be actively interested in the field of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays
(UHECRs) collaborating with several INFN and University groups to the discussion and definition
of projects and proposals (like JEM-EUSO and SUPER-EUSO) to carry out experiments to be
placed on board the International Space Station, in order to complement and improve the telescope
arrays presently running on ground (like AUGER in Argentina and Telescope Array in Utah). In
2008, he officially entered the JEM-EUSO International Collaboration, leading a group in the INFN
Frascati Laboratories involved in the design of the space-qualified mechanical and interface
structure of the Focal Surface of the JEM-EUSO instrument, constituted by a grid of about 5000
UVMINITEL

Multi Anode Photomultiplier Tubes (MAPMT, Hamamatsu) to read the optical signals of the light
coming from two Fresnel lenses each 2.5 m in diameter.
He is now, since June 2013, the P.I. of the JEM-EUSO Italian Collaboration.
2010 – present

TITLE: Detection and Imaging of turbulent states of ocean and atmosphere by means of a JEMEUSO-like detector at the TurLab facility
ACRONYM: EUSO@TurLab
ABSTRACT:
The air in the atmosphere and the water in oceans are almost everywhere in a state defined as
‘turbulent’. White capping on rough sea and cumulonimbus types of clouds are examples of how
turbulence manifests itself in such environment. Turbulence is very effective in transferring
momentum and heat in ocean and atmosphere, and in regulating the thermo-dynamical balance
UVMINITEL
21
between the atmosphere and the ocean, which is an essential role player in defining the global
climate and its changes. Compared to the atmosphere, the oceans are much less sampled and much
less data exist to test models of the ocean that include the representation of its turbulent nature.
With this project we intend evaluating the possibility of using a very small prototype of the photodetector employed in the Extreme Universe Space Observatory on board the Japanese Experiment
Module (JEM-EUSO) at the TurLab facility in Torino to verify the possibility of this sensor to
detect and distinguish different types of waves and clouds based on their albedo on diffusive and
reflected lights. If successful, the JEM-EUSO technology will allow monitoring oceans and the
atmosphere between +51.6° latitudes, by sampling continuously night-time ~2·105 km2 of the
Earth’s surface with a temporal resolution of
UV band (300 – 400 nm) from the ISS (altitude of 400 km) for a 3-5 years proposed mission. If
successful, JEM-EUSO will provide valuable and complementary data for oceanic and atmospheric
scientific communities.
4.2. Third parties involved in the project (including use of third party
resources)
Please complete, for each participant, the following table (or simply state "No third parties
involved", if applicable):
CNRS
Does the participant plan to subcontract certain tasks (please note that core Y
tasks of the project should not be sub-contracted)
CNRS part of design has to be produced by industry because CNRS is a non-profit research
institute, which has engineering missions especially concerning innovations, however the
element (consumable) production has to be subtracted by industry.
However subtracting industry is not producing a final equipment. CNRS team has the
responsibility to build the final equipment:
ASIC design is submitted to Silicium foundry to produce the Silicium chip,
ASIC chip has to be encapsulated in package industry, because CNRS has not enough
technical skills in complex cabling of ASICs inside a package,
CAM-Unit will be soldered and potted by industry because this work is a technical
challenge which need to be made manually and CNRS has not the required technical
manpower to do this.
CAM-ASIC board need to be cabled by industry, because even if it has cabling machine,
these soldering machines induce heat, which destroy the ASICs during the procedure. Thus
these boards will be cabled by industry at low temperature.
