چکیده

The Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE) is designed to explore the gamma-ray sky between 20 and 250 GeV using the atmospheric Cherenkov technique. STACEE will use large solar heliostat mirrors to reflect Cherenkov light created in gamma-ray air showers to secondary mirrors on a central tower. The secondary mirrors image this light onto photomultiplier tube cameras that are read out by fast electronics. Here we outline the important features of the STACEE design. We present an overview of the experimental site, describe the method of heliostat selection and control, and discuss the current designs for the detector components, including the secondary mirror structures, cameras, and electronics.

There are currently no experiments, either satellite or ground-based, that are sensitive to astro-physical γ-rays in the energy range between 20 and 250 GeV. We are developing the Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE) to explore this energy range. STACEE will use heliostat mirrors at a solar research facility to collect Cherenkov light in extensive air showers produced by...

The agreement of electroweak measurements with theory places limits on the masses of the top quark and the W boson. It is shown how these limits arise and what constraints various measurements (particularly a top quark mass determination) would provide on the theory. The degree to which present and future measurements can constrain the Higgs boson mass is examined.
