论文摘要
Nectarcam是一款开发的相机,可检测80 GEV和30 TEV之间的Cherenkov Light。它将装备Cherenkov望远镜阵列天文台(CTAO)的中型望远镜(MST)。该相机包含265个模块,涵盖了8度的视野。每个模块由配备轻轨的7个光电倍增管(PMT)组成,前端板执行数据捕获。 NectarCam基于花蜜芯片,该芯片结合了1GHz处的开关电容器阵列采样和数字转换器(ADC)的12位类似物。 Nectarcam相机目前正在巴黎 - 萨克莱(法国)中集成。在这项贡献中,我专注于在CTAO North站点部署之前进行的绩效测试,以进行其表征和校准。
NectarCAM is a camera developed to detect Cherenkov light between 80 GeV and 30 TeV. It will equip the medium-sized telescopes (MST) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO). The camera comprises 265 modules, covering a field of view of 8 degrees. Each module consists of 7 photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs) equipped with light guides and a front-end board performing the data capture. NectarCAM is based on the NECTAr chip, which combines a switch capacitor array sampling at 1GHz and a 12-bit Analog to Digital Converter (ADC). The NectarCAM camera is currently under integration in CEA Paris-Saclay (France). In this contribution, I focus on the ongoing performance tests for its characterization and calibration before deployment on the CTAO North site.
