In-orbit performance of the space telescope NINA and GCR flux measurements
The NINA apparatus, on board the Russian satellite Resurs-01 n.4, has been in polar orbit since 1998 July 10, at an altitude of 840 km. Its main scientific task is to study the galactic, solar and anomalous components of cosmic rays in the energy interval 10–200 MeV n. In this paper we present a description of the instrument and its basic operating modes. Measurements of Galactic Cosmic Ray spe...
متن کاملResults from a beam test of a prototype PLT diamond pixel telescope
We describe results from a beam test of a telescope consisting of three planes of single-crystal, diamond pixel detectors. This telescope is a prototype for a small-angle luminosity monitor, the Pixel Luminosity Telescope (PLT), for CMS. We recorded the pixel addresses and pulse heights of all pixels over threshold as well as the fast-or signals from all three telescope planes. We present resul...
متن کاملThe GLAST large area telescope: Design, construction, test and calibration
The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) is an international, multi-agency satellite mission with a vast and ambitious physics program in gamma-ray astronomy, particle astrophysics and cosmology. The Large Area Telescope (LAT) is the main instrument onboard GLAST and will detect high energy gamma rays with unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. After successful integration of the thr...
متن کاملExperimental calibration of an active space telescope with flexure joints
In order to reach a micrometer accuracy, a suitable model of a space telescope needs to be developed and validated through calibration. Since high velocity is not required in such an application, the dynamic effects can be neglected and only geometric and/or static calibration has to be considered. Moreover, measurements for calibration are performed in a clean room under controlled pressure, t...
متن کاملCalibration of the CAT Telescope
Due to the lack of test-beams in ground-based γ-ray astronomy, detector calibration has been a major challenge in this field. However, with the use of Cherenkov ring-images due to cosmic-ray muons and of strong γ-ray signals, the CAT telescope could be rather well monitored and understood. Here we present a few oustanding aspects of this work. INTRODUCTION: THE CAT DETECTOR The CAT (Cherenkov A...
