FACT -- the First Cherenkov Telescope using a G-APD Camera for TeV Gamma-ray Astronomy (HEAD 2010)

H. Anderhub, M. Backes, A. Biland +33

Geiger-mode Avalanche Photodiodes (G-APD) bear the potential to significantly improve the sensitivity of Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT). We are currently building the Firs…

MAGIC observation of the GRB080430 afterglow

MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, H. Anderhub +151

Context: Gamma-ray bursts are cosmological sources emitting radiation from the gamma-rays to the radio band. Substantial observational efforts have been devoted to the study of gam…

A novel camera type for very high energy gamma-ray astronomy based on Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes

H. Anderhub, M. Backes, A. Biland +28

Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (G-APD) are promising new sensors for light detection in atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. In this paper, the design and commissioning of a 36-pix…
