摘要:

地基伽马射线天文学的未来在于具有更好能力的成像大气切伦科夫望远镜(IACT)的大型阵列:更低的能量阈值,更高的灵敏度,更好的分辨率和背景抑制。目前,各个小组正在探索下一代IACT阵列的设计。我们已经研究了大量不同大小的望远镜的可能配置。在这里,我们提出的精度源,簇射核心和能量重建的γ射线在GeV-TeV范围内的不同高度的观测。这些结果是通过我们开发的工具获得的,以便模拟任何类型的IACT配置并评估其性能。

英文摘要:

The future of ground based gamma ray astronomy lies in large arrays of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT) with better capabilities: lower energy threshold, higher sensitivity, better resolution and background rejection. Currently, designs for the next generation of IACT arrays are being explored by various groups. We have studied possible configurations with a large number of telescopes of various sizes. Here, we present the precision of source, shower core and energy reconstruction for gamma rays in the GeV-TeV range for different altitudes of observation. These results were obtained through tools that we have developed in order to simulate any type of IACT configuration and evaluate its performance.
