22 Sep 2014 | | Abstract: | The MAGIC telescopes are two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs)
located on the Canary island of La Palma. The telescopes are designed to
measure Cherenkov light from air showers initiated by gamma rays in the energy
regime from around 50 GeV to more than 50 TeV. The two telescopes were built in
2004 and 2009, respectively, with different cameras, triggers and readout
systems. In the years 2011-2012 the MAGIC collaboration undertook a major
upgrade to make the stereoscopic system uniform, improving its overall
performance and easing its maintenance. In particular, the camera, the
receivers and the trigger of the first telescope were replaced and the readout
of the two telescopes was upgraded. This paper (Part I) describes the details
of the upgrade as well as the basic performance parameters of MAGIC such as raw
data treatment, dead time of the system, linearity in the electronic chain and
sources of noise. In Part II, we describe the physics performance of the
upgraded system. | | Source: | arXiv, 1409.6073 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
