The TGF-MEPPA project investigates Terrestrial Gamma Flashes, high-energy photon emissions linked to thunderstorms. By combining modeling and experimental measurements, it aims to understand their frequency, source characteristics, and implications for Earth's electrical systems.
Only 20 years after the discovery of Cosmic Gamma-ray Bursts from the universe another completely unknown phenomenon involving gamma-rays was discovered by coincidence the BATSE instrument on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory.
Short-lived (~1 ms) and very energetic photon emissions (>1 MeV and later: >40 MeV) were found to originate from the Earth’s atmosphere and were named Terrestrial Gamma Flashes (TGFs).
These flashes are the most energetic natural photon phenomenon that is known to exist on…
