Investigation of magnetic-field effects on photomultiplier tubes for the first Large-Sized Telescope of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
Yukiho Kobayashi, Dai Tateishi, Yuji Sunada +28
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are widely used in imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Their response can depend on the telescope pointing direction through changes in their ori…
Mechanism for reduction of the afterpulsing rate of PMTs
Kai Morita, Mitsunari Takahashi, Habib Ahammad Mondal +7
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are used in Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) to detect Cherenkov light produced by air showers induced by gamma rays in the atmosphere.…
Competition between Increasing and Decreasing Effects of the Afterpulsing Rate of PMTs during Night-Sky Observations
Takuto Kiyomoto, Tsutomu Nagayoshi, Shunsuke Sakurai +13
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) have been widely used in imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs). The Large-Sized Telescopes (LSTs) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observato…
Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes pointing determination using the trajectories of the stars in the field of view
Mykhailo Dalchenko, Matthieu Heller
We present a new approach to the pointing determination of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). This method is universal and can be applied to any IACT with minor modi…
Characterization of SiPM and development of test bench modules for the next-generation cameras for Large-Sized Telescopes for Cherenkov Telescope Array
Takayuki. Saito, K. Hashiyama, H. Iwasaki +5
The recent improvements in the performance of the silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) made them attractive options as photo sensors of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs)…
Calibration and performance of the readout system based on switched capacitor arrays for the Large-Sized Telescope of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Seiya Nozaki, Kyosuke Awai, Aya Bamba +59
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next-generation ground-based very-high-energy gamma-ray observatory. The Large-Sized Telescope (LST) of CTA is designed to detect gamma r…
Cross-calibration and combined analysis of the CTA-LST prototype and the MAGIC telescopes
Y. Ohtani, A. Berti, D. Depaoli +13
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the next generation gamma-ray observatory, which will consist of three kinds of telescopes of different sizes. Among those, the Large Si…
Reconstruction of extensive air shower images of the first Large Size Telescope prototype of CTA using a novel likelihood technique
Gabriel Emery, Cyril Alispach, Mykhailo Dalchenko +3
Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy aims at reconstructing the energy and direction of gamma rays from the extensive air showers they initiate in the atmosphere. Imaging Atmospheric C…
Commissioning of the camera of the first Large Size Telescope of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
T. Saito, C. Delgado, O. Blanch +30
The first Large Size Telescope (LST-1) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array has been operational since October 2018 at La Palma, Spain. We report on the results obtained during the cam…
Monitoring the pointing of the prototype LST-1 using star reconstruction in the Cherenkov camera
L. Foffano, A. Carosi, M. Dalchenko +3
The first Large-Sized Telescope (LST-1) proposed for the forthcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) has started to operate in 2019 in La Palma. The large structure of LST-1 - with…
Prototyping Hexagonal Light Concentrators Using High-Reflectance Specular Films for the Large-Sized Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Akira Okumura, Dang Viet Tan, Sakiya Ono +8
We have developed a prototype hexagonal light concentrator for the Large-Sized Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array. To maximize the photodetection efficiency of the focal-p…
