Status and Current Sensitivity of the CELESTE Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
The CELESTE experiment uses the heliostats of an old solar farm in the French Pyrenees to detect gamma ray air showers by the atmospheric Cerenkov technique. CELESTE has been operating since November 1999 with an array of 40 heliostats fully instrumented with 1GHz flash ADCs. Significant advances have been made in the detector simulations and in the data analysis techniques. We report here on results from recent observations of the Crab nebula above an energy threshold of 50GeV. The results and simulations illustrate the current sensitivity of the experiment.

Prototype Tests for the CELESTE Solar Array Gamma–Ray Telescope
The CELESTE experiment will be an Atmospheric Cherenkov detector designed to bridge the gap in energy sensitivity between current satellite and ground-based gamma-ray telescopes, 20 to 300 GeV. We present test results made at the former solar power plant, Themis, in the French Pyrenees. The tests confirm the viability of using a central tower heliostat array for Cherenkov wavefront sampling. 1 ...
متن کاملThe effect of hypernatremic status on anesthesia
Hypernatremia is defined as plasma Na+ concentration above 145 meq/L (often due to absolute body water loss and not to total sodium excess). Nevertheless, when kidney damage is present, as occurs in renal diseases, hepatic cirrhosis and congestive heart failure, total body sodium can be increased. The present study evaluates the relationship between hypernatremia and response to anesthetic drug...
