Future projects aiming to study very rarely occurring phenomena
- Proton decay, Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics
UNO, HYPER-K, Kilometer-Cube, also Nestor, Nemo, Antares, etc.
- Gamma-ray Astronomy – a study of faint and/or variable sources requires telescopes with
low detection threshold & wide acceptance angle
- Ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (>10^19 eV)
Auger, EUSO, OWL,…
- Double beta decay

- Low noise
- Fast response (~1 ns)
- Wide spectral coverage (Cherenkov)
- Single-photon sensitivity and resolution
- Color sensitivity
- Mass industrial production (e.g. no glass blowing), high quantity, high quality, short production cycle
- Low cost

1. Sensitive area covered by the “camera”
in general very-very LARGE,
but may also vary a lot: m2 – km2
2. Pixel size
in general very LARGE,
but may vary: several mm – several 10 cm
! Difficult to find a universal solution
(one needs a scallable concept)
