High-speed single-photoelectron detection for Cherenkov astronomy
Luca Giangrande, Matthieu Heller, Teresa Montaruli
Silicon photomultipliers are increasingly replacing photomultiplier tubes in Cherenkov telescope cameras, but achieving single-photoelectron resolution with nanosecond timing in a…
Design of an Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope array layout with differential programming
Cyril Alispach, Matthieu Heller, Teresa Montaruli
Current optimization of ground-based Cherenkov telescopes arrays, also called Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) arrays, relies on brute-force human-driven approaches based on…
The AdvCam: Designing the future cameras for the Large-Sized Telescope of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
Matthieu Heller
An international collaboration composed of Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Swiss institutes, is developing the advanced camera (AdvCam), the next-generation camera for Imaging Atmos…
The SST-1M stereoscopic system
C. Alispach, A. Araudo, M. Balbo +63
The Single-Mirror Small-Size Telescope (SST-1M) is an Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope designed for detecting very high-energy gamma rays. With a compact design achieved thr…
Calibration and operation of SiPM-based cameras for gamma-ray astronomy in presence of high night-sky light
Imen Al Samarai, Cyril Martin Alispach, Matteo Balbo +56
The next generation of Cherenkov telescope cameras feature Silicon Photo Multipliers (SiPM), which can guarantee excellent performance and allow for observation also under moonligh…
