The SiPM-based camera technology is designed and developed for the Wide Field of View Cherenkov Telescope Array (WFCTA) of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) in the paper. WFCTA consists of 18 Cherenkov telescopes. Each Cherenkov telescope consists of an array of 32×32 SiPM array which cover a field of view 14°×16°with a pixel size of 0.5 °. The main scientific goal of...

The HARPO is a design concept of the gaseous TPC aiming for a high precision telescope and polarimeter for cosmic
$\gamma$-rays especially in the energy range from the pair-production threshold up to
the order of 1 GeV, where current $\gamma$-ray telescope has a sensitivity drop and
no polarimetry exists due to the multiple scattering.
In order to investigate the feasibility,
we built...

The gamma-ray observatory TAIGA (Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic ray physics and Gamma Astronomy) is being developed to study gamma rays and fluxes of charged cosmic rays in the energy range of 10^13 eV – 10^18 eV. The array will include a network of wide-angle (Field-of-view (FOV) - 0.6 sr) Cherenkov stations and up to 16 Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) with FOV~10×10...

This paper describes the design optimization and performances of Electromagnetic particle Detector (ED） used in one km square extensive air shower array (KM2A) in LHAASO project. A 42-ED prototype array was set up at the Yangbajing cosmic ray observatory and has been in stable operation for two years. The performances of the prototype array are studied through hybrid observation of cosmic ray...

The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) is a multipurpose project focusing on the study of high energy gamma ray astronomy and cosmic ray physics. The one square kilometer array (KM2A) of the observatory will consists of more than 5000 electromagnetic particle detectors (EDs). The large number of detectors demands on a robust, automatic self-calibration method. In this paper,...
