A Cherenkov Water Calorimeter Based on Quasi-Spherical Modules

Abstract

A description of the detection and data-acquisition systems of the Cherenkov water calorimeter of the NEVOD Experimental Complex, which is a unique scientific facility located on the Earth’s surface, is presented. In the development of these systems, a solution is sought to the problem of measuring the energy of cascade showers initiated by single muons and the energy deposited by high-multiplicity muon bundles in a wide energy range.
