Mirror production for the Cherenkov telescopes of the ASTRI Mini-Array and of the MST project for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
N. La Palombara, G. Sironi, E. Giro +14
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next ground-based -ray observatory in the TeV -ray spectral region operating with the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique. It i…
Improved /hadron separation for the detection of faint gamma-ray sources using boosted decision trees
Maria Krause, Elisa Pueschel, Gernot Maier
Imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes record an enormous number of cosmic-ray background events. Suppressing these background events while retaining -rays is key to achieving…
A Search for Brief Optical Flashes Associated with the SETI Target KIC 8462852
A. U. Abeysekara, S. Archambault, A. Archer +78
The F-type star KIC 8462852 has recently been identified as an exceptional target for SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) observations. We describe an analysis methodol…
High energy astroparticle physics for high school students
Maria Krause, Hans-Peter Bretz, Lew Classen +5
The questions about the origin and type of cosmic particles are not only fascinating for scientists in astrophysics, but also for young enthusiastic high school students. To famili…
Calibrating the absolute amplitude scale for air showers measured at LOFAR
A. Nelles, J. R. Hörandel, T. Karskens +74
Air showers induced by cosmic rays create nanosecond pulses detectable at radio frequencies. These pulses have been measured successfully in the past few years at the LOw Frequency…
Detecting cosmic rays with the LOFAR radio telescope
P. Schellart, A. Nelles, S. Buitink +102
The low frequency array (LOFAR), is the first radio telescope designed with the capability to measure radio emission from cosmic-ray induced air showers in parallel with interferom…
