Calibration of the LOFAR low-band antennas using the Galaxy and a model of the signal chain
K. Mulrey, A. Bonardi, S. Buitink +15
The LOw-Frequency ARray (LOFAR) is used to make precise measurements of radio emission from extensive air showers, yielding information about the primary cosmic ray. Interpreting t…
Thunderstorm electric fields probed by extensive air showers through their polarized radio emission
T. N. G. Trinh, O. Scholten, A. Bonardi +17
We observe a large fraction of circular polarization in radio emission from extensive air showers recorded during thunderstorms, much higher than in the emission from air showers m…
Realtime processing of LOFAR data for the detection of nano-second pulses from the Moon
T. Winchen, A. Bonardi, S. Buitink +14
The low flux of the ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) at the highest energies provides a challenge to answer the long standing question about their origin and nature. Even lowe…
Measurement of the circular polarization in radio emission from extensive air showers confirms emission mechanisms
O. Scholten, T. N. G. Trinh, A. Bonardi +16
We report here on a novel analysis of the complete set of four Stokes parameters that uniquely determine the linear and/or circular polarization of the radio signal for an extensiv…
Search for Cosmic Particles with the Moon and LOFAR
T. Winchen, A. Bonardi, S. Buitink +14
The low flux of the ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) at the highest energies provides a challenge to answer the long standing question about their origin and nature. A signifi…
The Mirror Alignment and Control System for CT5 of the H.E.S.S. experiment
Daniel Gottschall, Andreas Förster, Antonio Bonardi +2
The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) experiment is one of the largest observatories for gamma-ray astronomy. It consists of four telescopes with a reflecting dish diamete…
Recent developments for the testing of Cherenkov Telescope Array mirrors and actuators in Tübingen
J. Dick, A. Bonardi, S. Bressel +10
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next generation Cherenkov telescope facility. It will consist of a large number of segmented-mirror telescopes of three different diamete…
Central Acceptance Testing for Camera Technologies for CTA
A. Bonardi, T. Buanes, P. Chadwick +5
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is an international initiative to build the next generation ground based very-high energy gamma-ray observatory. It will consist of telescopes o…
A new solution for mirror coating in -ray Cherenkov Astronomy
Antonio Bonardi, Gerd Pühlhofer, Stephan Hermanutz +1
In the -ray Cherenkov Astronomy framework mirror coating plays a crucial role in defining the light response of the telescope. We carried out a study for new mirror coating solu…
Status of the technologies for the production of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) mirrors
G. Pareschi, T. Armstrong, H. Baba +54
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next generation very high-energy gamma-ray observatory, with at least 10 times higher sensitivity than current instruments. CTA will comp…
