The simulations model extensive air showers initiated by high-energy (HE) primary particles (gamma rays or background cosmic-ray nuclei and electrons), the Cherenkov light production by the shower particles, and the measurement processes of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes… KW - Cherenkov counter: atmosphere (INSPIRE) KW - nucleus: cosmic radiation (INSPIRE) KW - showers: atmosphere (INSPIRE) KW - numerical calculations: Monte Carlo (INSPIRE) KW - radiation: Cherenkov (INSPIRE) KW - Cherenkov Telescope Array (INSPIRE) KW - observatory (INSPIRE) KW - sensitivity (INSPIRE) KW - background (INSPIRE) KW - gamma ray (INSPIRE) KW - electron (INSPIRE) KW - imaging (INSPIRE) KW - air (INSPIRE) LB - PUB:(DE-HGF)7 DO - DOI:10.1142/9789813270091_0015 UR - https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/428603 ER -
