Measurement of the Cherenkov light spectrum and of the polarization with the HEGRA-IACT-system
read the original abstract
The HEGRA system of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) detects Cherenkov light produced by air showers. The concept of stereoscopic observation with the five HEGRA telescopes allows the reconstruction of various shower parameters, for example the shower direction, the location of the shower core and the energy of cosmic rays. One of the telescopes was modified so that measurements of the spectrum and the polarization of Cherenkov light with the HEGRA system were possible. The experimental setup is described and preliminary results presented.
