The Next Generation of Photo-Detectors for Particle Astrophysics
Robert G. Wagner, Karen L. Byrum, Mayly Sanchez +6
We advocate support of research aimed at developing alternatives to the photomultiplier tube for photon detection in large astroparticle experiments such as gamma-ray and neutrino…
Section on Prospects for Dark Matter Detection of the White Paper on the Status and Future of Ground-Based TeV Gamma-Ray Astronomy
J. Buckley, E. A. Baltz, G. Bertone +18
This is a report on the findings of the dark matter science working group for the white paper on the status and future of TeV gamma-ray astronomy. The white paper was commissioned…
Distinguishing Between Dark Matter and Pulsar Origins of the ATIC Electron Spectrum With Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes
Jeter Hall, Dan Hooper
Recent results from the Advanced Thin Ionization Calorimeter (ATIC) balloon experiment have identified the presence of a spectral feature between approximately 300 and 800 GeV in t…
A Search for Dark Matter Annihilation with the Whipple 10m Telescope
M. Wood, G. Blaylock, S. M. Bradbury +33
We present observations of the dwarf galaxies Draco and Ursa Minor, the local group galaxies M32 and M33, and the globular cluster M15 conducted with the Whipple 10m gamma-ray tele…
Observations of the Unidentified TeV Gamma-Ray Source TeV J2032+4130 with the Whipple Observatory 10 m Telescope
A. Konopelko, R. W. Atkins, G. Blaylock +58
We report on observations of the sky region around the unidentified TeV gamma-ray source TeV J2032+4130 carried out with the Whipple Observatory 10 m atmospheric Cherenkov telescop…
The First VERITAS Telescope
J. Holder, R. W. Atkins, H. M. Badran +73
The first atmospheric Cherenkov telescope of VERITAS (the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System) has been in operation since February 2005. We present here a tech…
