The Non-Imaging Cherenkov Array (NICHE): First Analyses

The Non-Imaging Cherenkov Array (NICHE) is co-sited with the Telescope Array Low Energy extension (TALE), and together they form the world's first hybrid imaging/non-imaging air-Cherenkov detector for cosmic rays. The 14-counter NICHE array was deployed in September 2017 and September 2018. Details of the construction and deployment of the detector will be presented along with the first analyses of the commissioning first-light data.
