In this exploratory simulation study, we compare the event-progenitor classification potential of a variety of measurable parameters of atmospheric Cherenkov pulses which are produced by ultra-high energy (UHE) gamma-ray and hadron…
Based on Monte Carlo simulations using the CORSIKA code, it is shown that Cerenkov images produced by ultrahigh energy $\gamma$-rays and cosmic ray nuclei (proton, Neon and Iron) are fractal in nature. The resulting multifractal and wavelet…
We studied the application of the Pseudo-Zernike features as image parameters (instead of the Hillas parameters) for the discrimination between the images produced by atmospheric electromagnetic showers caused by gamma-rays and the ones…
In the absence of a standard source of gamma rays or hadrons of known energy one has to study the details of production of \v Cerenkov light at the observation level only through detailed simulation studies. Recently such studies have…
Atmospheric Cherenkov technique is an established methodology to study TeV energy gamma rays. Here we carry out systematic monte carlo simulation studies of the timing information of Cherenkov photons. Extensive studies have already been…
Detecting cosmic gamma rays at high rates is the key to time-resolve the acceleration of particles within some of the most powerful events in the universe. Time-resolving the emission of gamma rays from merging celestial bodies, apparently…
It has been demonstrated that factorial moments analysis in dependence from the size of phase-space cells (when the latter is decreased but is still considerably large), exhibits sensitivity to particle bunching within a system situated in…
We have studied the distribution patterns of lateral density, arrival time and angular position of Cherenkov photons generated in Extensive Air Showers (EASs) initiated by $\gamma$-ray, proton and iron primaries incident with various…
Extensive air showers created by high-energy particles interacting with the Earth atmosphere can be detected using imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs). The IACT images can be analyzed to distinguish between the events caused by…
A preliminary flux estimate of various cosmic-ray constituents based on the atmospheric Cerenkov light flux of extensive air showers using fractal and wavelet analysis approach is proposed. Using a Monte-Carlo simulated database of Cerenkov…
The statistics of tunneling current in a fractional quantum Hall sample with an antidot is studied in the chiral Luttinger liquid picture of edge states. A comparison between Fano factor and skewness is proposed in order to clearly…
The 499 pixel photomultiplier cameras of the VERITAS gamma ray telescopes are instrumented with 500MHz sampling Flash ADCs. This paper describes a preliminary investigation of the best methods by which to exploit this information so as to…
The gamma/hadron separation in the imaging air Cherenkov telescope technique is based on differences between images of a hadronic shower and a gamma induced electromagnetic cascade. One may expect for a large telescope that a detection of…
The cumulants and factorial moments of photon distribution for squeezed and correlated light are calculated in terms of Chebyshev, Legendre and Laguerre polynomials. The phenomenon of strong oscillations of the ratio of the cumulant to…
We show from a simulations-based study of the TACTIC telescope that fractal and wavelet analysis of Cerenkov images, recorded in a single imaging Cerenkov telescope, enables almost complete segregation of isotropic gamma-ray initiated…
A study prototype of Proximity Focussing Ring Imaging Cherenkov counter has been built and tested with several radiators using separately cosmic-ray particles and 12C beam fragmentation products at several energies. Counter prototype and…
A new concept concerning Cherenkov detector for particle identification by means of measuring both the Time-of-Propagation (TOP) and horizontal emission angle ($\Phi$) of Cherenkov photons is described here. Some R&D works are also…
This work is a methodical study on hybrid reconstruction techniques for hybrid imaging/timing Cherenkov observations. This type of hybrid array is to be realized at the gamma-observatory TAIGA intended for very high energy gamma-ray…
{ In this paper we present a natural and comprehensive generalisation of the standard factorial moments ($\clFq$) analysis of a multiplicity distribution. The Generalised Factorial Moments are defined for all $q$ in the complex plane and,…
In the atmospheric Cerenkov technique gamma rays are detected against the abundant background produced by hadronic showers. In order to improve the signal to noise ratio of the experiment, it is necessary to reject a significant fraction of…
