Design and Realization of the LST Main Structure for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
T. Schweizer, J. Eder, H. Wetteskind +12
The 23 m diameter Large Size Cherenkov Telescope (LST) for CTA, located at 2250 m a.s.l. on the Canary Island of La Palma, is the next-generation Cherenkov telescope following MAGI…
Adapting the 23m LST-North mechanical structure design for the strong Chile seismic environment
Thomas Schweizer, Josef Eder, Teshima Masahiro +2
The 23-meter-diameter Large-Sized Telescope (LST) is the largest size telescope of the next generation Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). The first telescope, LST-1, was installed at…
Light-Trap: A SiPM Upgrade for Very High Energy Astronomy and Beyond
D. Guberman, J. Cortina, J. E. Ward +11
With the development of the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique (IACT), Gamma-ray astronomy has become one of the most interesting and productive fields of astrophysics. Curren…
The Optical System for the Large Size Telescope of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
M. Hayashida, K. Noda, M. Teshima +20
The Large Size Telescope (LST) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is designed to achieve a threshold energy of 20 GeV. The LST optics is composed of one parabolic primary mirro…
Silicon Photomultiplier Research and Development Studies for the Large Size Telescope of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Riccardo Rando, Daniele Corti, Francesco Dazzi +26
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the the next generation facility of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes; two sites will cover both hemispheres. CTA will reach unprecede…
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…
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…
The Cherenkov Telescope Array Large Size Telescope
G. Ambrosi, Y. Awane, H. Baba +129
The two arrays of the Very High Energy gamma-ray observatory Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will include four Large Size Telescopes (LSTs) each with a 23 m diameter dish and 28 m…
Mechanics and cooling system for the camera of the Large Size Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA)
Carlos Delgado, Oscar Blanch, Carlos Diaz +6
Mechanics of the camera for the large size telescopes of CTA must protect and provide a stable environment for its instrumentation. This is achieved by a stiff support structure en…
