Monitoring facilities under development
Talk
The characterization of the optical properties of the atmosphere in the near UV, in particular the tropospheric aerosol stratification, clouds optical depth and distribution are common to the field of the physics of the atmosphere, due to aerosol effect on climate, and also to the physics of cosmic rays, for a correct reconstruction of energy and longitudinal development of showers.
The goal...

Monitoring facilities under development
Talk
A multi-wavelength scanning Raman lidar is being developed at CEILAP (CITEDEF-CONICET) to monitor the spectral properties of the aerosol extinction in the future CTA Observatory. The reception system of the lidar uses six Newtonian telescopes, with a mirror diameter of 40 cm and a focal length of 1 m. Fused silica optical fibers fix the field of view of the telescopes to 1 mrad and send the...

Simulations, modeling, and reconstruction
Talk
Cherenkov telescope experiments, such as H.E.S.S., have been very successful in the astronomical observation in the very-high-energy (VHE, E>100GeV) regime.
As an integral part of the detector, such experiments use the earth atmosphere as a calorimeter. For the calibration and energy determination, a standard model atmosphere is assumed. Deviations of the real atmosphere from the model may...
