Prototype of a production system for Cherenkov Telescope Array with DIRAC
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) — an array of many tens of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes deployed on an unprecedented scale — is the next generation instrument in the field of very high energy gamma-ray astronomy. CTA will operate as an open observatory providing data products to the scientific community. An average data stream of about 10 GB/s for about 1000 hours of observation...
متن کاملHow to focus a Cherenkov telescope
Cherenkov telescopes image the Cherenkov emission from air showers. A priori, it is not obvious if the ‘best’ images are achieved by measuring Cherenkov photon angles, i.e. focusing the telescope at infinity, or by considering the air shower as an object to be imaged, in which case one might focus the telescope on the central region of the shower. The issue is addressed using shower simulations...
متن کاملIntercalibration of Cherenkov Telescopes in Telescope Arrays
A simple analysis technique is described which allows to intercalibrate the response of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes in stereoscopic telescope arrays at a level of 1-2%. With the next-generation imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes currently under construction, stereoscopic arrays of telescopes such as VERITAS [1], CANGAROO III [2] and H.E.S.S. [3] play a dominant role. Stereosc...
متن کاملCherenkov Detector Prototype for ILC Polarimetry
Precise knowledge of all beam parameters is crucial to fully exploit the physics potential of the International Linear Collider (ILC). A sufficiently accurate measurement of the beam polarisation can only be achieved using dedicated high energy Compton polarimeters combined with well-designed Cherenkov detectors. The requirements have been evaluated and a suitable Cherenkov detector prototype h...
متن کاملTowards an optimized design for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a future instrument for very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy that is expected to deliver an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity over existing instruments. In order to meet the physics goals of CTA in a cost-effective way, Monte Carlo simulations of the telescope array are used in its design. Specifically, we simulate large arrays comprising...
