A NECTAr-based upgrade for the Cherenkov cameras of the H.E.S.S. 12-meter telescopes
Terry Ashton, Michael Backes, Arnim Balzer +41
The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is one of the three arrays of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) currently in operation. It is composed of four 12-mete…
Trigger performance verification of the FlashCam prototype camera
S. Sailer, F. Werner, G. Hermann +33
FlashCam is a camera proposed for the medium-sized telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). We compare camera trigger rates obtained from measurements with the camera pro…
Performance of the upgraded H.E.S.S. cameras
S. Bonnefoy, T. Ashton, M. Backes +37
The 14 years old cameras of the H.E.S.S. 12-m telescopes have been upgraded in 2015/2016, with the goals of reducing the system failure rate, reducing the dead time and improving t…
Hardware and software architecture of the upgraded H.E.S.S. cameras
S. Klepser, T. Ashton, M. Backes +37
In 2015/16, the photomultiplier cameras of the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescopes CT1-4 have undergone a major upgrade. The entire electronics has been replaced, using NECTAr chips for…
Performance Verification of the FlashCam Prototype Camera for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
F. Werner, C. Bauer, S. Bernhard +32
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a future gamma-ray observatory that is planned to significantly improve upon the sensitivity and precision of the current generation of Chere…
FlashCam: a fully-digital camera for the medium-sized telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
G. Pühlhofer, C. Bauer, S. Bernhard +31
The FlashCam group is currently preparing photomultiplier-tube based cameras proposed for the medium-sized telescopes (MST) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). The cameras are…
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…
