FACT - Threshold prediction for higher duty cycle and improved scheduling
T. Bretz, A. Biland, J. Buß +22
The First G-APD Cherenkov telescope (FACT) is the first telescope using silicon photon detectors (G-APD aka. SiPM). The use of Silicon devices promise a higher photon detection eff…
FACT - How stable are the silicon photon detectors?
T. Bretz, A. Biland, J. Buß +22
The First G-APD Cherenkov telescope (FACT) is the first telescope using silicon photon detectors (G-APD aka. SiPM). The use of Silicon devices promise a higher photon detection eff…
FACT - The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope: Status and Results
T. Bretz, H. Anderhub, M. Backes +51
The First G-APD Cherenkov telescope (FACT) is the first telescope using silicon photon detectors (G-APD aka. SiPM). It is built on the mount of the HEGRA CT3 telescope, still locat…
Improvement in Fast Particle Track Reconstruction with Robust Statistics
M. G. Aartsen, R. Abbasi, Y. Abdou +277
The IceCube project has transformed one cubic kilometer of deep natural Antarctic ice into a Cherenkov detector. Muon neutrinos are detected and their direction inferred by mapping…
FACT: Towards Robotic Operation of an Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope
A. Biland, H. Anderhub, M. Backes +51
The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) became operational at La Palma in October 2011. Since summer 2012, due to very smooth and stable operation, it is the first telescope of…
FACT - Long-term stability and observations during strong Moon light
M. L. Knoetig, A. Biland, T. Bretz +22
The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) is the first Cherenkov telescope equipped with a camera made of silicon photon detectors (G-APD aka. SiPM). Since October 2011, it is reg…
