Camera design and performance of the prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
C. Adams, G. Ambrosi, M. Ambrosio +49
The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a candidate technology for a medium-sized telescope within the Cherenkov Telescope Array, the next generation ground based observatory f…
Prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope for the Cherenkov Telescope Array: Commissioning Status of the Optical System
C. Adams, G. Ambrosi, M. Ambrosio +56
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), with more than 100 telescopes, will be the largest ever ground-based gamma-ray observatory and is expected to greatly improve on both gamma-ray…
Characterization of SiPM Optical Crosstalk and its Dependence on the Protection-Window Thickness
Yuki Nakamura, Akira Okumura, Hiroyasu Tajima +2
Owing to their high photon detection efficiency, compactness, and low operating voltage, silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) have found widespread application in many fields, includin…
Fermi-LAT gamma-ray study of the interstellar medium and cosmic rays in the Chamaeleon Molecular-Cloud Complex: A look at the dark gas as optically thick HI
Katsuhiro Hayashi, Tsunefumi Mizuno, Yasuo Fukui +6
We report a Fermi-LAT -ray analysis for the Chamaeleon molecular-cloud complex using a total column density (NH) model based on the dust optical depth at 353 GHz () wit…
Development of a UV-transparent Lens Array for Enlarging the Effective Area of Multichannel SiPMs
Akira Okumura, Akira Asano, Kazuhiro Furuta +4
We developed a UV-transparent lens array that can increase the photon detection efficiency of a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) array comprising of 64 pixels ( mm each…
Using Muon Rings for the Optical Throughput Calibration of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Markus Gaug, Stephen Fegan, Alison Mitchell +3
Muon ring images observed with Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) provide a powerful means to calibrate the optical throughput of IACTs and monitor their optical poin…
