Scientific paper

The major advantages that lunar-base detectors would have over the earth-based and the earth-orbiting detectors for various particle-astrophysics and cosmic-ray studies include the lack of an atmosphere, a low magnetic field, the stability of a lunar-surface platform, the possibility of using lunar material, and the presence of an already existing lunar base. The paper discusses studies that would benefit from lunar-base detectors, which include measurements of the cosmic ray spectrum and composition in the 10 14-16 eV per nucleus region; observations of heavy neutrinos or the products of WIMP annihilations; studies of ultraheavy cosmic rays, isotopes, and antimatter; and observations of high-energy gamma-ray sources in the currently unexplored 5-200 GeV window.
