FACT -- The G-APD revolution in Cherenkov astronomy
T. Bretz, H. Anderhub, M. Backes +53
Since two years, the FACT telescope is operating on the Canary Island of La Palma. Apart from its purpose to serve as a monitoring facility for the brightest TeV blazars, it was bu…
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 and Operation of FACT -- The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope
H. Anderhub, M. Backes, A. Biland +51
The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) is designed to detect cosmic gamma-rays with energies from several hundred GeV up to about 10 TeV using the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov…
FACT -- the First Cherenkov Telescope using a G-APD Camera for TeV Gamma-ray Astronomy (HEAD 2010)
H. Anderhub, M. Backes, A. Biland +33
Geiger-mode Avalanche Photodiodes (G-APD) bear the potential to significantly improve the sensitivity of Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT). We are currently building the Firs…
A novel camera type for very high energy gamma-ray astronomy based on Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes
H. Anderhub, M. Backes, A. Biland +28
Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (G-APD) are promising new sensors for light detection in atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. In this paper, the design and commissioning of a 36-pix…
A Study of Cosmic Ray Secondaries Induced by the Mir Space Station Using AMS-01
01 Collaboration
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a high energy particle physics experiment that will study cosmic rays in the to range and will…
Search for Colour Singlet and Colour Reconnection Effects in Hadronic Z Decays at LEP
L3 Collaboration
A search is performed in symmetric 3-jet hadronic Z decay events for evidence of colour singlet production or colour reconnection effects. Asymmetries in the angular separation of…
Search for Single Top Production at LEP
L3 Collaboration
Single top production in e+e- annihilations is searched for in data collected by the L3 detector at centre-of-mass energies from 189 to 209 GeV, corresponding to a total integrated…
Measurement of Genuine Three-Particle Bose-Einstein Correlations in Hadronic Z decay
L3 Collaboration
We measure three-particle Bose-Einstein correlations in hadronic Z decay with the L3 detector at LEP. Genuine three-particle Bose-Einstein correlations are observed. By comparing t…
f_1(1285) Formation in Two-Photon Collisions at LEP
L3 Collaboration
The eta pi^+ pi^- final state in two-photon collisions is studied with the L3 detector at LEP, at centre-of-mass energies from 183 to 209 GeV with an integrated luminosity of 664.6…
Protons in near earth orbit
AMS Collaboration
The proton spectrum in the kinetic energy range 0.1 to 200 GeV was measured by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) during space shuttle flight STS-91 at an altitude of 380 km. Ab…
Search for antihelium in cosmic rays
AMS Collaboration
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) was flown on the space shuttle Discovery during flight STS-91 in a 51.7 degree orbit at altitudes between 320 and 390 km. A total of 2.86 * 10…
Measurement of the Spectroscopy of Orbitally Excited B Mesons at LEP
L3 Collaboration
We measure the masses, decay widths and relative production rate of orbitally excited B mesons using 1.25 million hadronic Z decays recorded by the L3 detector. B-meson candidates…
Measurement of an Elongation of the Pion Source in Z Decays
L3 Collaboration
We measure Bose-Einstein correlations between like-sign charged pion pairs in hadronic Z decays with the L3 detector at LEP. The analysis is performed in three dimensions in the lo…
