Optics and Mechanics of the Auger Fluorescence Detector
Abstract
The design of the Auger Fluorescence Detector telescopes is based on the Schmidt system which avoids the coma aberration. The main components are a large spherical mirror with 3.4 m radius of curvature, a UV transmitting filter placed on the diaphragm and a light sensitive device (camera). Each telescope has a field of view of about 30x30 degrees.
