About
Y. Kazarina is a key contributor to astroparticle physics, specializing in the detection of high-energy gamma rays and cosmic rays using the TAIGA (Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic ray physics and Gamma Astronomy) observatory. Their work focuses on developing and operating hybrid detector arrays, particularly the HiSCORE (High Sensitivity COsmic Ray and gamma-ray Explorer) facility, which combines wide-angle Cherenkov light detection with imaging telescopes. Kazarina’s most notable contribution is the first ground-based detection of the CATS-LIDAR (Cloud-Aerosol Transport System) onboard the International Space Station, reported in a 2017 study with 7 citations. This achievement demonstrated the feasibility of using ISS-based laser systems as calibration sources for ground-based gamma-ray observatories, enabling precise atmospheric monitoring and detector alignment. By tracking the ISS as a fast-moving point source at kilometer-scale distances, Kazarina’s team validated novel techniques for cosmic-ray and gamma-ray astronomy. Their work has advanced the TAIGA experiment’s capabilities, contributing to the broader search for gamma-ray sources and dark matter signatures. Kazarina’s research exemplifies the intersection of space-based lidar technology and ground-based astroparticle physics, opening new pathways for multi-messenger astronomy.
