摘要:

2012年,高能立体系统(H.E.S.S.)第五台望远镜(CT5)。CT5的有效镜面直径为28米,能够探测到非常微弱的伽马射线空气簇射的切伦科夫光,因此与其他四台望远镜相比,该望远镜的能量阈值显着降低。从记录的簇射图像中提取尽可能多的信息对于背景抑制和达到几十GeV的能量阈值至关重要。CT 5的照相机被设想为相对于每个像素的16 ns积分窗口的开始记录电荷脉冲最大值的时间。该信息可用于改进事件重建。它还有助于减少低能量下的背景污染。我们提出了基于CT 5定时信息的背景抑制新技术,并评估了它们的性能。

英文摘要:

In 2012, the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) was expanded by a fifth telescope (CT5). With an effective mirror diameter of 28m, CT5 is able to detect the Cherenkov light of very faint gamma-ray air showers, thereby significantly lowering the energy threshold of this telescope compared to the other four telescopes. Extracting as much information as possible from the recorded shower image is crucial for background rejection and to reach an energy threshold of a few tens of GeV. The camera of CT5 is conceived to register the time of the charge pulse maximum with respect to the beginning of the 16 ns integration window of each pixel. This information can be utilised to improve the event reconstruction. It also helps to reduce the background contamination at low energies. We present new techniques for background rejection based on CT5 timing information and evaluate their performance.
