Ground-based detectors in very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy
M. de Naurois, D. Mazin
Following the discovery of the cosmic rays by Victor Hess in 1912, more than 70 years and numerous technological developments were needed before an unambiguous detection of the fir…
A major electronics upgrade for the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescopes 1-4
G. Giavitto, T. Ashton, A. Balzer +31
The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is an array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) located in the Khomas Highland in Namibia. It consists of four 12-m t…
NectarCAM : a camera for the medium size telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
J-F. Glicenstein, O. Abril, J-A. Barrio +63
NectarCAM is a camera proposed for the medium-sized telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) covering the central energy range of ~100 GeV to ~30 TeV. It has a modular des…
Exploiting the geomagnetic distortion of the inclined atmospheric showers
Pierre Billoir, Mariangela Settimo, Miguel Blanco
We propose a novel approach for the determination of the nature of ultra-high energy cosmic rays by exploiting the geomagnetic deviation of muons in nearly horizontal showers. The…
The DICE calibration project: design, characterization, and first results
N. Regnault, A. Guyonnet, K. Schahmanèche +12
We describe the design, operation, and first results of a photometric calibration project, called DICE (Direct Illumination Calibration Experiment), aiming at achieving precise ins…
An introduction to some imperfections of CCD sensors
Pierre Astier
CCD sensors do not deliver a perfect image of the light they receive. Beyond the well known linear image smearing due to diffusion of charges during their drift towards the pixel w…
Evidence for self-interaction of charge distribution in charge-coupled devices
A. Guyonnet, P. Astier, P. Antilogus +2
Charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are widely used in astronomy to carry out a variety of measurements, such as for flux or shape of astrophysical objects. The data reduction procedures…
