18 Jul 2013 | Abstract: | The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a next-generation ground-based
observatory for g -rays with energies between some ten GeV and a few hundred
TeV. CTA is currently in the advanced design phase and will consist of arrays
with different size of prime-focus Cherenkov telescopes, to ensure a proper
energy coverage from the threshold up to the highest energies. The extension of
the CTA array with double-mirror Schwarzschild- Couder telescopes is planned to
improve the array angular resolution over wider field of view.We present an
end-to-end Monte-Carlo comparison of trigger concepts for the different imaging
cameras that will be used on the Cherenkov telescopes. The comparison comprises
three alternative trigger schemes (analog, majority, flexible pattern analysis)
for each camera design. The study also addresses the influence of the
properties of the readout system (analog bandwidth of the electronics, length
of the readout window in time) and uses an offline shower reconstruction to
investigate the impact on key performances such as energy threshold and flux
