Study on optimization of water Cherenkov detector array of LHAASO project for surveying VHE gamma rays sources

A water Cherenkov detector array, LHAASO-WCDA, is proposed to be built at Shangri-la, Yunnan Province, China. As one of the major components of the LHAASO project, the main purpose of it is to survey the northern sky for gamma ray sources in the energy range from 100 GeV to 30 TeV. In order to design the water Cherenkov array efficiently to economize the budget, a Monte Carlo simulation is proceeded. With the help of the simulation, cost performance of different configurations of the array is obtained and compared with each other, serving as a guide for the more detailed design of the experiment in the next step.

Online charge calibration of LHAASO-WCDA---a study with the engineering array

LHAASO-WCDA is a large ground-based water Cherenkov detector array planned to be built at Shangri-La, Yunnan Province, China. As a major component of LHAASO project, the main purpose of LHAASO-WCDA is to survey the northern sky for very-high-energy (above 100 GeV) gamma ray sources. To gain full knowledge of water Cherenkov technique and to well investigate engineering issues, a 9-cell detector array has been built at Yang-Ba-Jing site, neighboring to the ARGO-YBJ experiment. With the array, charge calibration methods for low and high ranges of the PMT readout are studied, whose result shows that a very high precision at several percentages can be reached. These calibration methods are proposed to be applied in the future LHAASO-WCDA project.

Optical storage of high density information beyond the diffraction limit : a quantum study

We propose an optical read-out scheme allowing a demonstration of principle of information extraction below the diffraction limit. This technique, which could lead to improvement in data read-out density onto optical discs, is independent from the wavelength and numerical aperture of the reading apparatus, and involves a multi-pixel array detector. Furthermore, we show how to use non classical light in order to perform bit discrimination beyond the quantum noise limit.
