Laser与VERITAS的大气研究

Laser Atmospheric Studies with VERITAS

C. M. Hui

摘要:

当校准的激光脉冲在大气中传播时,到达VERITAS望远镜的瑞利散射光的数量可以精确计算。这项技术最初是为超高能宇宙射线荧光望远镜的绝对校准而开发的,但也适用于成像大气切伦科夫望远镜(IACT)。在本文中,我们提出了两个晚上的激光数据采取的激光在各种距离的VERITAS望远镜和比较瑞利散射模拟。

英文摘要:

As a calibrated laser pulse propagates through the atmosphere, the amount of Rayleigh-scattered light arriving at the VERITAS telescopes can be calculated precisely. This technique was originally developed for the absolute calibration of ultra-high-energy cosmic-ray fluorescence telescopes but is also applicable to imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs). In this paper, we present two nights of laser data taken with the laser at various distances away from the VERITAS telescopes and compare it to Rayleigh scattering simulations.
