Mini-EUSO is the first detector of the JEM-EUSO program deployed on the ISS. It is a wide field of view telescope currently operating from a nadir-facing UV-transparent window on the ISS. It is based on an array of MAPMTs working in photon counting mode with a 2.5 μs time resolution. Among the different scientific objectives it searches for light signals with time duration compatible to those expected from Extensive Air Showers (EAS) generated by EECRs interacting in the atmosphere. Although the energy threshold for cosmic ray showers is above E>10^21 eV, due the constraints given by the size of the UV-transparent window, the dedicated trigger logic has been capable of the detection of other interesting classes of events, like elves and ground flashers. An overview of the general performance of the trigger system is provided, with a particular focus on the identification of classes of events responsible for the triggers.

The SPACIROC (Spatial Photomultiplier Array Counting and Integrating ReadOut Chip) is a Front-End ASIC designed for the space-borne fluorescence telescope JEM-EUSO[1][2]. The device is designed for features of single photon counting, dynamic range of 1 photoelectron (PE) to 1500 PEs, double pulse resolution of 10 ns, and low power consumption (<1 mW/ch). SPACIROC reads output signals from a 64-channel Multi-Anode Photomultiplier Tube (MAPMT). Input photons are measured in the two features as following: photon counting mode for each input and charge-to-time (Q-to-T) conversion mode for the multiplexed channels. The combination of these two features enables the large dynamic range as described above. We will report the performance of the ASIC such as power consumption, double pulse resolution, dynamic range and linearity.

The discovery of TeV emitting X-ray binaries has triggered an intense effort to better understand the particle acceleration, absorption, and emission mechanisms in compact binary systems, which provide variable conditions along eccentric orbits. Despite this, the nature of some of these systems, and of the accelerated particles producing the TeV emission, is unclear. To answer some of these open questions we conducted a multiwavelength campaign of the TeV emitting X-ray binary LS I +61 303 including the MAGIC telescope, XMM-Newton, and Swift during 60% of an orbit in 2007 September. We detect a simultaneous outburst at X-ray
