Data Acquisition Architecture and Online Processing System for the HAWC gamma-ray observatory
HAWC collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro +105
The High Altitude Water Cherenkov observatory (HAWC) is an air shower array devised for TeV gamma-ray astronomy. HAWC is located at an altitude of 4100 m a.s.l. in Sierra Negra, Me…
Measurement of camera image sensor depletion thickness with cosmic rays
J. Vandenbroucke, S. BenZvi, S. Bravo +10
Camera image sensors can be used to detect ionizing radiation in addition to optical photons. In particular, cosmic-ray muons are detected as long, straight tracks passing through…
Detecting particles with cell phones: the Distributed Electronic Cosmic-ray Observatory
Justin Vandenbroucke, Silvia Bravo, Peter Karn +6
In 2014 the number of active cell phones worldwide for the first time surpassed the number of humans. Cell phone camera quality and onboard processing power (both CPU and GPU) cont…
Search for TeV Gamma-Ray Emission from Point-like Sources in the Inner Galactic Plane with a Partial Configuration of the HAWC Observatory
A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +95
A survey of the inner Galaxy region of Galactic longitude l in [+15, +50] degree and latitude b in [-4,+4] degree is performed using one-third of the High Altitude Water Cherenkov…
Prospects for Measuring the Positron Excess with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Justin Vandenbroucke, Peter Karn, Matthew Wood +1
The excess of positrons in cosmic rays above 10 GeV has been a puzzle since it was discovered. Possible interpretations of the excess have been suggested, including accelerat…
Development of a SiPM Camera for a Schwarzschild-Couder Cherenkov Telescope for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
A. N. Otte, J. Biteau, H. Dickinson +17
We present the development of a novel 11328 pixel silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) camera for use with a ground-based Cherenkov telescope with Schwarzschild-Couder optics as a possib…
