A Mirror Alignment Control System for H.E.S.S. Phase II
نویسندگان
چکیده
The H.E.S.S. experiment in Namibia, which currently consists of four Cherenkov telescopes, will be extended in phase II by a fifth, larger telescope. This new telescope with its 890 mirrors poses new challenges on the design of the Mirror Alignment Control System. Important features of the new developed design are, apart from the scalability for future experiments, the possibility to do a fast realignment of a subgroup of mirrors, the fully robotic operation and the protection of the system from nearby lightning strikes. The overall design of the mirror alignment control system, its current implementation and possible modifications that would be needed to adapt it for a future Cherenkov telescope observatory are presented.

Active alignment for two-beam interferometers
An active control system is described for the automatic alignment of the mirrors in a two-beam interferometer. From an initial unaligned position the active control system determines the degree of misalignment and adjusts the relative mirror positions accordingly. An embodiment of the system is described for a Michelson interferometer in which one of the mirrors is mounted upon three piezoelect...

متن کاملMicrosecond Time Resolution Optical Photometry using a H.E.S.S. Cherenkov Telescope
We have constructed an optical photometer with microsecond time resolution, which is currently being operated on one of the H.E.S.S. telescopes. H.E.S.S. is an array of four Cherenkov telescopes, each with a 107 m2 mirror, located in the Khomas highland in Namibia. In its normal mode of operation H.E.S.S. observes Cherenkov light from air showers generated by very high energy gamma-rays in the ...
