After 10 years of successful operation the ANTARES neutrino telescope will be de-commissioned during 2017. Recently we prepared a proposal which has been submitted to the ANTARES Collaboration in 09/2016: Antares Modules In a Gamma-ray Observatory (AMIGO). We therein propose to recover the optical modules (17inch glass spheres housing each a 10inch PMT) during the de-commission operation and...

The Pierre Auger observatory currently undergoes a major upgrade (AugerPrime) installing scintillator detectors on top of each tank. With the complement information of the scintillator detector and the water-Cherenkov detector, the muonic component and the electromagnetic component of air-showers can be disentangled. The obvious disadvantage is that both detectors see both components although...
