Abstract

To catalyze transformative advancements in High-energy Physics in the Atmosphere (HEPA), a comprehensive understanding of particle fluxes, electric fields, and lightning occurrences across atmospheric layers is imperative. This paper elucidates the instrumentation and capabilities of the Aragats Space-Environmental Center (ASEC), which encompasses measurement tools for various cosmic ray species, near-surface electric fields, and lightning events integrated across high-mountain research station at slopes of Mt. Aragats and the highest mountains of Eastern Europe and Germany. Through these measurements, we aim to elucidate models of particle acceleration mechanisms and the charge distribution within the lower atmosphere. We introduce an Advanced Data Extraction Infrastructure (ADEI) integrated with sophisticated statistical analysis tools to facilitate rapid access to this wealth of data. Despite the significance of these atmospheric processes, the intricate interplay between thundercloud electrification, lightning activity, wideband radio emissions, and particle fluxes remains poorly understood. A particularly compelling avenue of inquiry lies in exploring the relationship between high-energy atmospheric phenomena, intracloud electric fields, and lightning initiation. Furthermore, investigations into accelerated structures within geospace plasmas hold promise for shedding light on particle acceleration processes, potentially extending to higher energies within analogous structures in cosmic plasmas. This paper also examines practical methodologies for extracting meaningful physical insights from temporal datasets, such as correlating surges in particle flux intensity with variations in near-surface electric field strength and precipitation patterns. Additionally, we explore the utility of wideband field and interferometer antenna signals in this context, offering valuable avenues for further research and analysis. Through these endeavors, we aim to deepen our understanding of high-energy atmospheric processes and their broader implications for terrestrial and cosmic phenomena.

阿拉加茨空间环境中心(ASEC)的粒子通量、电场和闪电发生率测量结果
要推动大气高能物理(HEPA)的变革性发展,就必须全面了解粒子通量、电场和跨大气层的闪电现象。本文阐述了阿拉加茨空间环境中心(ASEC)的仪器和能力,该中心包括各种宇宙射线种类、近地表电场和闪电事件的测量工具,这些测量工具集成在阿拉加茨山斜坡的高山研究站以及东欧和德国的最高山脉中。通过这些测量,我们旨在阐明粒子加速机制模型和低层大气中的电荷分布。我们引入了先进的数据提取基础设施(ADEI),并集成了复杂的统计分析工具,以方便快速获取这些丰富的数据。尽管这些大气过程非常重要,但人们对雷云通电、闪电活动、宽带无线电辐射和粒子通量之间错综复杂的相互作用仍然知之甚少。探索高能大气现象、云内电场和闪电启动之间的关系是一条特别引人注目的研究途径。此外,对地球空间等离子体内加速结构的研究有望揭示粒子加速过程,并有可能扩展到宇宙等离子体类似结构内的更高能量。本文还探讨了从时间数据集中提取有意义的物理见解的实用方法,例如将粒子通量强度的激增与近表面电场强度和降水模式的变化联系起来。此外,我们还探讨了宽带场和干涉仪天线信号在这方面的用途,为进一步研究和分析提供了宝贵的途径。通过这些努力,我们旨在加深对高能大气过程及其对陆地和宇宙现象的广泛影响的理解。
