GAW切伦科夫望远镜阵列的预期性能。模拟与分析
Expected performance of the GAW Cherenkov Telescopes Array. Simulation and Analysis
摘要：
全球大气观察是一个“探路者”实验，旨在测试新一代成像大气切伦科夫望远镜的可行性，该望远镜使用菲涅尔透镜、立体观测方法和单光子计数模式，将高通量灵敏度与大视场能力结合起来。全球大气观察站是一个由三台望远镜组成的阵列，将架设在卡拉尔阿尔托天文台场址（西班牙，海拔2150米）。为了评估GAW的性能，一个一致的数据集已被模拟，包括蟹状源观测，并已开发出适当的图像分析代码，如本文所述。还报告了GAW的预期性能，主要是关于有效面积、角分辨率、作为核心距离函数的切伦科夫通量、伽马/质子分离能力和灵敏度。预计在今年年底实现的第一台望远镜将能够验证分析中使用的参数是否与全球大气观察装置的“实际”性能一致。
英文摘要：
GAW is a "path-finder" experiment to test the feasibility of a new generation of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes that join high flux sensitivity with large field of view capability using Fresnel lens, stereoscopic observational approach, and single photon counting mode. GAW is an array of three telescopes that will be erected at the Calar Alto Observatory site (Spain, 2150 m a.s.l.). To evaluate the performance of GAW, a consistent data--set has been simulated, including a Crab-like source observation, and a proper image analysis code has been developed, as described in this contribution. The expected performance of GAW are also reported, mainly for what concerns effective area, angular resolution, Cherenkov flux as function of the core distance, ability in the gamma/proton separation, and sensitivity. The first telescope realization, foreseen within the end of this year, will allow to verify if the parameters used in the analysis are in agreement with the "real" performance of the GAW apparatus.
