Prospects for the detection of gamma rays using Cherenkov telescopes enhanced by a ground array observatory
C. Alispach, A. Araudo, A. Bakalová +67
We study through detailed simulated data and their optimized analysis the expected performance of the Single-Mirror Small-Size imaging atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (SST-1M) pot…
Hybrid concept of detection for a wide-field gamma-ray observatory using Cherenkov telescopes
Alena Bakalová, Ruben Conceição, Lucio Gibilisco +6
The hybrid detection approach in astroparticle physics has been successfully employed in cosmic-ray experiments and is currently being explored by gamma-ray observatories like LHAA…
: a high resolution gamma/hadron and composition discriminant variable for Water-Cherenkov Detector cosmic-ray observatories
Ruben Conceição, Pedro J. Costa, Lucio Gibilisco +2
The precise and efficient identification of the nature of the primary cosmic rays on an event-by-event basis stands as a fundamental aspiration for any cosmic ray observatory. In p…
The gamma/hadron discriminator in realistic air shower array experiments
R. Conceição, P. J. Costa, L. Gibilisco +2
In this article, it is shown that the and variables, recently introduced as an effective way to discriminate gamma and proton-induced showers in large wide-field gamma-…
Azimuthal fluctuations and number of muons at the ground in muon-depleted proton air showers at PeV energies
A. Bakalová, R. Conceição, L. Gibilisco +4
Muon counting is an effective strategy for discriminating between gamma and hadron-initiated air showers. However, their detection, which requires shielded detectors, is highly exp…
Gamma/hadron discrimination at high energies through the azimuthal fluctuations of the particle distributions at ground
R. Conceição, L. Gibilisco, M. Pimenta +1
Wide field-of-view gamma-ray observatories must fight the overwhelming cosmic ray background to identify very-high-energy astrophysical gamma-ray events. This work introduces a nov…
The Mercedes water Cherenkov detector
P. Assis, A. Bakalová, U. Barres de Almeida +13
The concept of a small, single-layer water Cherenkov detector, with three photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), placed at its bottom in a star configuration (\emph{Mercedes}…
