Determination of Gamma-ray Shower Characteristics using the HEGRA Stereoscopic IACT System
Abstract
Characteristics of Cherenkov light emission from TeV γ-ray air showers are explored using the HEGRA system of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Data are presented concerning the radial distribution of Cherenkov light within the light pool, and its variation with shower energy and zenith angle, as well as on the variation of photon arrival times across the Cherenkov images.
