The NectarCAM camera project
J-F. Glicenstein, M. Barcelo, J-A. Barrio +57
In the framework of the next generation of Cherenkov telescopes, the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), NectarCAM is a camera designed for the medium size telescopes covering the cen…
Development of the Photomultiplier-Tube Readout System for the CTA Large Size Telescope
H. Kubo, R. Paoletti, Y. Awane +51
We have developed a prototype of the photomultiplier tube (PMT) readout system for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) Large Size Telescope (LST). Two thousand PMTs along with thei…
Characterisation and Testing of CHEC-M - a camera prototype for the Small-Sized Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
J. Zorn, R. White, J. J. Watson +42
The Compact High Energy Camera (CHEC) is a camera design for the Small-Sized Telescopes (SSTs; 4 m diameter mirror) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). The SSTs are focused on…
The major upgrade of the MAGIC telescopes, Part II: A performance study using observations of the Crab Nebula
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksic, S. Ansoldi +163
MAGIC is a system of two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes located in the Canary island of La Palma, Spain. During summer 2011 and 2012 it underwent a series of upgrades, in…
An Analog Trigger System for Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes
M. Barcelo, J. A. Barrio, O. Blanch Bigas +6
Arrays of Cherenkov telescopes typically use multi-level trigger schemes to keep the rate of random triggers from the night sky background low. At a first stage, individual telesco…
The major upgrade of the MAGIC telescopes, Part I: The hardware improvements and the commissioning of the system
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksic, S. Ansoldi +162
The MAGIC telescopes are two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) located on the Canary island of La Palma. The telescopes are designed to measure Cherenkov light from…
