Development and Quality Control of PMT Modules for the Large-Sized Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory

The camera of the Large-Sized Telescopes (LSTs) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) consists of 1855 pixels that are grouped into 265 high-performance photomultiplier tube (PMT) modules. Each module comprises a seven-light-guide plate, seven PMT units, a slow control board, and a readout board with a trigger board. %In this paper we describe The requirements for the PMT modules include various aspects, such as photon detection efficiency, dynamic range, buffer depth, and test pulse functionality. We have developed a high-performance PMT module that fulfills all these requirements. Mass-production and quality control (QC) of modules for all four LSTs of the northern CTAO have been completed. Here we report on the technical details of each element of the module and its performance, together with the methods and results of QC measurements.

Root closed function algebras on compacta of large dimension

Let $X$ be a Hausdorff compact space and $C(X)$ be the algebra of all continuous complex-valued functions on $X$, endowed with the supremum norm. We say that $C(X)$ is (approximately) $n$-th root closed if any function from $C(X)$ is (approximately) equal to the $n$-th power of another function. We characterize the approximate $n$-th root closedness of $C(X)$ in terms of $n$-divisibility of first $\check {\rm C}$ech cohomology groups of closed subsets of $X$. Next, for each positive integer $m$ we construct $m$-dimensional metrizable compactum $X$ such that $C(X)$ is approximately $n$-th root closed for any $n$. Also, for each positive integer $m$ we construct $m$-dimensional compact Hausdorff space $X$ such that $C(X)$ is $n$-th root closed for any $n$.

On commutative and non-commutative C*-algebras with the approximate n-th root property

We say that a C*-algebra X has the approximate n-th root property (n\geq 2) if for every a\in X with ||a||\leq 1 and every ε>0 there exits b\in X such that ||b||\leq 1 and ||a-b^n||<ε. Some properties of commutative and non-commutative C*-algebras having the approximate n-th root property are investigated. In particular, it is shown that there exists a non-commutative (resp., commutative) separable unital C*-algebra X such that any other (commutative) separable unital C*-algebra is a quotient of X. Also we illustrate a commutative C*-algebra, each element of which has a square root such that its maximal ideal space has infinitely generated first Cech cohomology.

Characterisitics of the hall current surrounding a magnetized filamentary plasma

The hall current in the periphery of a filamentary plasma with the inwardly directed radial electric field, Er has been investigated experimentally by utilizing a TPD type dc discharge. When the cusp magnetic filed B$θ$ is applied perpendicular to the stationary background magnetic field Bz, the hall current by the ErxB$θ$ drift of electrons is induced in the periphery of the magnetized filamentary plasma.
