使用CORSIKA /sim_telarray进行CTA模拟

CTA simulations with CORSIKA/sim_telarray

Konrad Bernloehr

摘要:

虽然目前的大气切伦科夫装置只有几个望远镜,但未来的装置将更加复杂。蒙特卡罗模拟已成为设计和优化此类装置的重要工具。利用CORSIKA空气簇射模拟程序和模拟切伦科夫望远镜阵列的sim_telarray程序,对未来切伦科夫望远镜阵列(CTA)的几种候选构型进行了详细的模拟。与其他详细和简化的模拟一起,所得到的数据为CTA在广泛的能量范围内的持续优化提供了基础。在本文中,模拟方法的概述和初步结果的一些配置。它表明,CTA项目的初始目标可以实现与现有的技术,至少在中,高能量范围(约100 GeV至100 TeV)。

英文摘要:

While current atmospheric Cherenkov installations consist of only a few telescopes each, future installations will be far more complex. Monte Carlo simulations have become an essential tool for the design and optimisation of such installations. The CORSIKA air-shower simulation code and the sim_telarray code for simulation of arrays of Cherenkov telescopes have been used to simulate several candidate configurations of the future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) in detail. Together with other detailed and simplified simulations the resulting data provide the basis for the ongoing optimisation of CTA over a wide energy range. In this paper, the simulation methods are outlined and preliminary results on a number of configurations are presented. It is demonstrated that the initial goals of the CTA project can be achieved with available technology, at least in the medium and high energy range (about 100 GeV to 100 TeV).
