TAIGA observatory: IACT fabrication and tests

Abstract: Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) are one of the key parts of the TAIGA observatory, which is designed to study gamma rays and charged cosmic rays in the energy range of 10 13 eV-10 18 eV. The current prototype phase comprises three IACTs. The first IACT was fabricated at JINR, Dubna, and started its first commissioning season in the Tunka valley in 2017. The second one has been assembled there in fall 2018, the third structure one is ready for installation in autumn 2019. This report presents t… Show more

“…The alt-azimuth mount of the TAIGA-IACT is controlled by PhyMOTION modular control unit. Each axis is equipped with a Phytron hybrid stepper motor and a 17-bit shaft encoder [20]. In order to perform telescope pointing calibration and accurate telescope direction determination by stars a CCD camera Prosilica is installed with a shift from the telescope optical axis.…”
