V. Bidoli et al., EXPERIMENTAL BEAM TEST OF THE SILEYE2 APPARATUS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 399(2-3), 1997, pp. 477-488
We present the experimental results obtained with the SilEye2 apparatu
s during one week test run at the Svedberg Laboratory, Sweden. These r
esults will be used for energy calibration of the data collected on bo
ard the MIR Space Station from fall 1997. Data that will be collected
with SilEye2 are necessary to understand the phenomenon of optical lig
ht flashes (LF) in cosmonauts' eyes during orbital flights and for inv
estigation of the nuclear fluxes in cosmic rays.
