Investigation of magnetic-field effects on photomultiplier tubes for the first Large-Sized Telescope of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
Yukiho Kobayashi, Dai Tateishi, Yuji Sunada +28
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are widely used in imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Their response can depend on the telescope pointing direction through changes in their ori…
Mechanism for reduction of the afterpulsing rate of PMTs
Kai Morita, Mitsunari Takahashi, Habib Ahammad Mondal +7
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are used in Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) to detect Cherenkov light produced by air showers induced by gamma rays in the atmosphere.…
Development and Quality Control of PMT Modules for the Large-Sized Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
T. Saito, M. Takahashi, Y. Inome +56
The camera of the Large-Sized Telescopes (LSTs) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) consists of 1855 pixels that are grouped into 265 high-performance photomultipli…
Competition between Increasing and Decreasing Effects of the Afterpulsing Rate of PMTs during Night-Sky Observations
Takuto Kiyomoto, Tsutomu Nagayoshi, Shunsuke Sakurai +13
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) have been widely used in imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs). The Large-Sized Telescopes (LSTs) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observato…
Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes pointing determination using the trajectories of the stars in the field of view
Mykhailo Dalchenko, Matthieu Heller
We present a new approach to the pointing determination of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). This method is universal and can be applied to any IACT with minor modi…
