Performance tests of the NectarCAM qualification model

This contribution describes the laboratory characterization and calibration of the NectarCAM before deployment. NectarCAM is a camera developed to equip the medium-sized telescopes (MST) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO). It is designed to detect Cherenkov light in the central energy range of the CTAO from 100 GeV to 30 TeV, with a field of view of 8 degrees. It comprises 265 modules, each consisting of 7 photo-multiplier tubes (PMTs) and a Front-End Board performing the data capture. The sampling and digitization of the signal is performed by the NECTAr chip, a switched capacitor array able to perform the sampling of the signal at 1 GHz. We report here on the status of the NectarCAM camera, currently under integration in CEA Paris-Saclay (France). The results of the ongoing timing performance tests will be presented.
