Introduction
Cosmic rays are energetic particles that reach Earth from space and provide an important natural source of information for particle physics and astrophysics. Their study contributes to investigations of particle interactions at energies that can extend beyond the direct reach of some terrestrial accelerator experiments. Cosmic-ray observatories use complementary detector systems to measure particle showers and related physical quantities, supporting studies of particle composition, energy spectra, arrival directions, and interactions in the atmosphere. [2]
Research Profile
The supplied research profile associates Epifanio Ponce with Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla and identifies Cosmic Ray Detection as the principal subject area. The Scopus author identifier supplied for the profile is 16029702500. The stated record comprises 42 documents, 1,181 citations, and an h-index of 11. These figures should be understood as bibliometric observations associated with the supplied author record and may change as indexing databases are updated. [1]
Research Contributions
Research in cosmic ray detection depends on the reliable acquisition and interpretation of signals generated by energetic particles and their secondary interactions. Relevant scientific contributions may involve detector development, event reconstruction, particle identification, shower characterization, calibration procedures, data analysis, or the interpretation of cosmic-ray observations within broader particle-physics models. [2].
Publications
The supplied Scopus record reports 42 documents associated with the researcher. Scopus author profiles are designed to aggregate indexed scholarly documents and citation information under an author identifier, although author disambiguation and database coverage can affect the completeness of an individual profile. [1]
Research Impact
The supplied bibliometric indicators show 1,181 citations across 42 indexed documents and an h-index of 11. An h-index of 11 indicates that, within the cited database record, at least 11 publications have each received at least 11 citations. Citation counts and h-index values are database-dependent measures and can vary according to indexing coverage, author disambiguation, document type, and the date on which the profile is accessed. [3]
Award Suitability
The Excellence in Innovation Award profile places the researcher within the scientific domain of Cosmic Ray Detection and the broader field of particle physics. The supplied publication and citation indicators provide documented quantitative information that can be considered alongside the substantive content of the research record. [3]
Conclusion
Epifanio Ponce is presented in this academic recognition profile as a researcher affiliated with Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, Mexico, with a research focus identified as Cosmic Ray Detection. The supplied Scopus information records 42 documents, 1,181 citations, and an h-index of 11. [1] These indicators provide a quantitative overview of the indexed research record, while assessment of scientific contribution requires examination of the underlying publications and their documented research context.
