A LIDAR system for the H.E.S.S. experiment
mag(2013)
Abstract
The H.E.S.S. experiment in Namibia, Africa, is designed to study the origin of high energy cosmic rays from 100 Gev to few tens of TeV, using the Cherenkov technique. To minimize the systematic errors on the derived fluxes of the measured sources, one has to calculate the impact of the atmospheric properties, namely the extinction parameter a. A LIDAR can provide this kind of information within the detectable energy range of the experiment. In this paper we report on the hardware components, operation and data taking of such a system installed on the HESS site for the last three years.
