Description
D. Chernov for the TAIGA collaboration.
The TAIGA complex-detector is designed to study gamma and cosmic rays in the energy range above 30TeV. We are developing a novel wide-angle telescope with a SiPM-based imaging camera of a FoV of 15-20° and of an aperture of not more than 1 m2 . In this report we intend to present the design of such a camera (optical system and DAQ), based on 1000-1200 SiPMs. The prototype of such a camera, based on 49 SiPMs, is operating at the TAIGA’s site in Tunka valley since September 2019. The design of the prototype and the preliminary results of data analysis will be presented.
