Test Beam Performance Measurements for the Phase I Upgrade of the CMS Pixel Detector
M. Dragicevic, M. Friedl, J. Hrubec +481
A new pixel detector for the CMS experiment was built in order to cope with the instantaneous luminosities anticipated for the Phase~I Upgrade of the LHC. The new CMS pixel detecto…
Impact of low-dose electron irradiation on n+p silicon strip sensors
The Tracker Group of the CMS Collaboration
The response of n+p silicon strip sensors to electrons from a Sr-90 source was measured using a multi-channel read-out system with 25 ns sampling time. The measurements were perfor…
FACT - The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope: Status and Results
T. Bretz, H. Anderhub, M. Backes +51
The First G-APD Cherenkov telescope (FACT) is the first telescope using silicon photon detectors (G-APD aka. SiPM). It is built on the mount of the HEGRA CT3 telescope, still locat…
FACT: Towards Robotic Operation of an Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope
A. Biland, H. Anderhub, M. Backes +51
The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) became operational at La Palma in October 2011. Since summer 2012, due to very smooth and stable operation, it is the first telescope of…
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…
Detection of Cherenkov light from air showers with Geiger-APDs
A. N. Otte, I. Britvitch, A. Biland +6
We have detected Cherenkov light from air showers with Geiger-mode APDs (G-APDs). G-APDs are novel semiconductor photon-detectors, which offer several advantages compared to conven…
