Investigating Electronic Pedestals Of The Analogue Front-End Boards Of The Upgraded High-Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S-I) Cameras

Abstract

The High-Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is an array of five imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes located in the Khomas Highland in Namibia, dedicated to very-high-energy (VHE, 100 GeV – 100 TeV) gamma-ray astronomy. It consists of four identical 12 m diameter telescopes (H.E.S.S.-I) which started operating in 2003 and a large 28 m diameter telescope (H.E.S.S.-II) which was brought online in 2012 [1]. The H.E.S.S.-I camera upgrade project was aimed to increase the stability and performances of the camera operation by replacing the 13 years old camera electronics with modern-day technologies. The most delicate part of the upgraded electronics are the readout boards of the drawers, which have been upgraded with a new analog memory [2, 3]. A significant level of cross-talk has been observed in the analog front-end boards of the H.E.S.S.-I camera upgrade [3], and investigating the electronic pedestals of these analog boards could help understand the origin of such a cross-talk. A C++ code written in ROOT modular scientific software framework has been developed for the analysis of the data taken with a drawer on the Test bench at DESY in Zeuthen, Germany.
