Characterisation and testing of CHEC-M-A camera prototype for the small-sized telescopes of the Cherenkov telescope array

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The Compact High Energy Camera (CHEC) is a camera design for the Small-Sized Telescopes (SSTs, 4 m diameter mirror) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). The SSTs are focused on very-high-energy gamma-ray detection via atmospheric Cherenkov light detection over a very large area. This implies many individual units and hence cost-effective implementation, as well as shower detection at large impact distance, and hence large field of view (FoV), and efficient image capture in the presence of large time gradients in the shower image detected by the camera. CHEC relies on dual-mirror optics to reduce the plate-scale and make use of 6 x 6 mm(2) pixels, leading to a low-cost (similar to 150 k(sic)), compact (0.5 m x 0.5 m), and light (similar to 45 kg) camera with 2048 pixels providing a camera FoV of similar to 9 degrees.
