Standardised formats and open-source analysis tools for the MAGIC telescopes data
S. Abe, J. Abhir, A. Abhishek +208
Instruments for gamma-ray astronomy at Very High Energies () have traditionally derived their scientific results through proprietary data and software. Data stand…
Direct Comparison of SiPM and PMT Sensor Performances in a large-size imaging air Cherenkov telescope
A. Hahn, R. Mirzoyan, A. Dettlaff +3
The peak photon detection efficiency (PDE) of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) can be as good or better than the PDE of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). There are experiments where th…
Performance and first measurements of the MAGIC Stellar Intensity Interferometer
MAGIC Collaboration, S. Abe, J. Abhir +217
In recent years, a new generation of optical intensity interferometers has emerged, leveraging the existing infrastructure of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). The…
Performance of the joint LST-1 and MAGIC observations evaluated with Crab Nebula data
H. Abe, K. Abe, S. Abe +365
Aims. LST-1, the prototype of the Large-Sized Telescope for the upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory, is concluding its commissioning in Observatorio del Roque de los Muc…
Correcting Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope data with atmospheric profiles obtained with an elastic light detecting and ranging system
Felix Schmuckermaier, Markus Gaug, Christian Fruck +11
Context. We are operating an elastic LIDAR for the monitoring of atmospheric conditions during regular observations of the MAGIC Telescopes. Aims. We present and evaluate methods t…
Performance Evaluation of Three Silicon Photomultiplier Detector Modules within the MAGIC Telescopes PMT-based camera
A. Hahn, R. Mirzoyan, A. Dettlaff +3
MAGIC is a system of two imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) located on the Canary island of La Palma. Each telescope's imaging camera consists of 1039 photomultiplier…
Characterizing the aerosol atmosphere above the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos by analyzing seven years of data taken with an GaAsP HPD-readout, absolutely calibrated elastic LIDAR
Christian Fruck, Markus Gaug, Alexander Hahn +12
We present a new elastic LIDAR concept, based on a bi-axially mounted Nd:YAG laser and a telescope with HPD readout, combined with fast FADC signal digitization and offline pulse a…
The Light-Trap: A novel concept for a large SiPM-based pixel for Very High Energy gamma-ray astronomy and beyond
D. Guberman, J. Cortina, J. E. Ward +3
Among the main disadvantages of using silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) in large experiments are their limited physical area (increasing the cost and the complexity of the readout o…
Limits on the flux of tau neutrinos from 1 PeV to 3 EeV with the MAGIC telescopes
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +142
A search for tau neutrino induced showers with the MAGIC telescopes is presented. The MAGIC telescopes located at an altitude of 2200 m a.s.l. in the Canary Island of La Palma, can…
Performance of the MAGIC telescopes under moonlight
D. Guberman, P. Colin
MAGIC, a system of two imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, achieves its best performance under dark conditions, i.e. in absence of moonlight or twilight. Since operating the…
Light-Trap: A SiPM Upgrade for Very High Energy Astronomy and Beyond
D. Guberman, J. Cortina, J. E. Ward +11
With the development of the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique (IACT), Gamma-ray astronomy has become one of the most interesting and productive fields of astrophysics. Curren…
