Development, Configuration and Performance Characterization of a Scalable BETA ASIC-Based Readout System for Multi-Channel SiPM Detectors
Giulio Lucchetta, Keerthana Rajan Lathika, Benjamin Nobre Hauptmann +17
We present the design, configuration, and performance characterization of a scalable readout system based on the BETA application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), developed to m…
Design and Realization of the LST Main Structure for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
T. Schweizer, J. Eder, H. Wetteskind +12
The 23 m diameter Large Size Cherenkov Telescope (LST) for CTA, located at 2250 m a.s.l. on the Canary Island of La Palma, is the next-generation Cherenkov telescope following MAGI…
A 1.8 m class pathfinder Raman LIDAR for the Northern Site of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory -- Performance
Pedro Jose Bauza-Ruiz, Oscar Blanch, Paolo G. Calisse +13
The Barcelona Raman LIDAR (BRL) will provide continuous monitoring of the aerosol extinction profile along the line of sight of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO). It…
A 1.8 m class pathfinder Raman LIDAR for the Northern Site of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory -- Technical Design
Otger Ballester, Oscar Blanch, Joan Boix +22

Reconstruction of extensive air shower images of the first Large Size Telescope prototype of CTA using a novel likelihood technique
Gabriel Emery, Cyril Alispach, Mykhailo Dalchenko +3
Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy aims at reconstructing the energy and direction of gamma rays from the extensive air showers they initiate in the atmosphere. Imaging Atmospheric C…
Reconfigurable ASIC for a Low Level Trigger System in Cherenkov Telescope Cameras
David Gascon, Juan Abel Barrio, Oscar Blanch +11
A versatile and reconfigurable ASIC is presented, which implements two different concepts of low level trigger (L0) for Cherenkov telescopes: the Majority trigger (sum of discrimin…
The NectarCAM camera project
J-F. Glicenstein, M. Barcelo, J-A. Barrio +57
In the framework of the next generation of Cherenkov telescopes, the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), NectarCAM is a camera designed for the medium size telescopes covering the cen…
Mechanics and cooling system for the camera of the Large Size Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA)
Carlos Delgado, Oscar Blanch, Carlos Diaz +6
Mechanics of the camera for the large size telescopes of CTA must protect and provide a stable environment for its instrumentation. This is achieved by a stiff support structure en…
Design Concepts for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
The CTA Consortium
Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has had a major breakthrough with the impressive results obtained using systems of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Ground-based gamma-ray…
