Position reconstruction of acoustic sources with the AMADEUS Detector

Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2010-04-30 v1

Abstract

This article focuses on techniques for position reconstruction of acoustic point sources with the AMADEUS setup consisting of 36 acoustic sensors in the Mediterranean Sea. The direction reconstruction of an acoustic point source utilizes the information of the 6 small-volume hydrophone clusters of AMADEUS individually. Source position reconstruction is then done by combining the directional information of each cluster. The algorithms for direction and position reconstruction are explained and demonstrated using data taken in the deep sea.
