标题： Design study of an air-Cherenkov telescope for harsh environments with efficient air-shower detection at 100 TeV

摘要： 基于半导体光电传感器设计的望远镜有望探测由大气中的宇宙射线发射的切伦科夫光或荧光。这类望远镜在偏远恶劣环境中具有高工作循环和效率的潜力。鉴于这些仪器相对较低的成本和坚固性，这项技术可能会特别有趣，尤其是在大量部署并与现有的和未来的扩展宇宙射线和伽马射线探测器（包括皮埃尔·奥格观测站、HAWC、IceCube和CTA）结合使用时。它们可能增强这些仪器对高能伽马射线和宇宙射线空气簇射的探测灵敏度。此外，对于中微子望远镜，这种技术可能在地表成为一种高效的宇宙射线拒斥手段。本文描述了基于SiPM的空气切伦科夫望远镜的当前动机、设计和发展。展示了初步灵敏度研究的结果以及系统为首次测试（包括计划在南极洲进行的测试）做好准备的情况。 显示英文摘要

摘要： Telescopes, designed with semi-conductor based photo sensors, have the potential to detect Cherenkov or fluorescence light emitted by cosmic-rays in the atmosphere. Such telescopes promise a high duty cycle and efficiency in remote harsh environments. Given the relatively low costs and robustness of these instruments, this technology could prove interesting especially if deployed in large numbers with existing and future extended cosmic-ray and gamma ray detectors, including the Pierre Auger observatory, HAWC, IceCube and CTA. They may have the potential to enhance the sensitivity of these instruments for the detection of high-energy gamma rays and cosmic-ray air showers. In addition, for neutrino telescopes such a technology could prove to be an efficient cosmic-ray veto on the surface. In this contribution the current motivation, design, and development of a prototype SiPM based air Cherenkov telescope is described. The results of initial sensitivity studies, and the readiness of the system for first tests, including those proposed for the South Pole are shown.
