Description
NUSES is a space mission, equipped with two scientific payloads named, Zirè and Terzina. Zirè is a hybrid detector comprising a fiber tracker, plastic scintillator and a segmented GAGG calorimeter, designed to measure the cosmic ray composition (electron, proton and lighter nuclei) from few MeV to 300 MeV, while simultaneously detecting gamma ray transients up to 50 MeV. Terzina employs an innovative approach to study ultra-high-energy astroparticle physics from space. It is developed to detect Cherenkov radiation from air showers initiated by cosmic rays (> 100 PeV) and from Earth-skimming neutrinos. Both the payloads are equipped with a novel SiPM based readout system, testing this technology in the space environment for future space missions. This presentation will discuss the major science goals, technological advancements and current status of the mission.
