1 Gamma-Ray Astronomy With Ground Based Arrays: Results and Future Perspectives Eckart Lorenz (MPI-Munich) OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION THE GENERAL CONCEPT CURRENT EXPERIMENTS AND RESULTS COMPARISON WITH OTHER DETECTION METHODS IMPROVEMENTS OF CURRENT DETECTORS AND POSSIBLE NEXT GENERATION DETECTORS CONCLUSIONS
2 HIGH ENERGY GAMMA-RAYS (!): CURRENTLY THE BY FAR BEST MESSENGERS ABOUT (ULTR)RELATIVISTIC PROCESSES IN THE UNIVERSE THE OTHER IMPORTANT MESSENGER, THE " JUST AT THE DOOR EXPERIMENTAL FACT: VHE/UHE! FLUXES VERY LOW SATELLITE BORNE DETECTORS NOT ENOUGH DETECTION AREA INSTRUMENTS WITH LARGE DETECTION AREA : GROUND-BASED ##>!s HAVE TO PASS EARTH ATMOSPHERE - > AIR SHOWERS --->ALL TEV (FEW GeV-100TeV)! OBSERVATIONS INDIRECT VIA SECONDARY PARTICLES TIME INFO: OK DIRECTION FROM SECONDARY PARTICLES ENERGY
3 IN THE 60th-90th: THE MAIN WORKHORSE FOR! ASTRONOMY: GROUND-BASED ARRAY DETECTORS TO DETECT SHOWER TAIL PARTICLES REACHING GROUND IN MODERN HEP DETECTOR LANGUAGE: TAIL CATCHER CALORIMETERS (ATMOSPHERE THE ABSORBER, DETECTOR AT GROUND THE DEVICE TO MESURE A (POOR) CALORIMETRIC SIGNAL --> SIGNAL ABOUT DIRECTION AND ENERGY FROM THE SHOWER TAIL PARTICLES)
4 THE COSMIC RAY SPECTRUM Mostly protons, $,.. heavy ions COMPILATION SIMON SWORDY FRACTION OF!s UNKNOWN < 10-4 from Galactic Plane < 10-5 isotropic Local! emission spots(stars) can reach! fluxes of a few % of CR BG For typ. angular resolution of 0.1 BASICALLY NOTHING IS KNOWN ABOUT THE COSMIC " FLUX Charged CR are bad messengers!s are good messengers but ->!/hadron SEPARATION A BIG EXPERIMENTAL CHALLENGE! LIMIT Flux limits on cosmic ", WIMP completely unknown ========================= ev
5 2006 Mkn180 PG1553 ALL SOURCES HAVE SPECTRA EXTENDING ABOVE 1 TEV RARELY SPECTRA EXTEND ABOVE 10 TEV (CRAB->80 GEV MANY AGNS HAVE A SOFT SPECTRUM NOT ALL SOURCES IN INNER GALACTIC PLAN
6 THE PHYSICS GOALS IN GROUND-BASED! ASTRONOMY (ABOVE A FEW GeV)!AGNs!Cosmological! ray horizon!pulsars!snrs!cold Dark Matter!GRBs!Tests on Quantum Gravity effects
7 ARTIST VIEWOF A PROTON INDUCED AIR SHOWER + OBSERVABLES AIR MASS 1: 27 rad.length 11 hadronic abs. length
8 THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH TAIL CATCHER CALORIMETERS : THE HIGH THRESHOLD DETECTOR AT 5000 M ASL 0 45 ZENITH ANGLE MIN e AT DETECTOR ACTIVE LEVEL FOR BARE DETECTION, FULLY ACTIVE SURFACE 10** 3 e FOR GOOD SHOWER PARAMETERE DETERMINATION, FULLY ACTIVE SURFACE!Threshold scales with (cos %heta) - (6-7),!Converting gammas in shower tail (5-7 times more than e) helps if electrons are not lost in converter
9 CARTOON SHOWER FRONT (FLASH PHOTO BEFORE HITTING GROUND) DETECTOR CONCEPTS MAY BE IN FUTURE: DETECTION BY RADIO SIGNALS?? (24 h, ALL SKY??)
10 THE CLASSICAL WORKHORSE FOR LARGE GROUND BASED ARRAYS PLASTIC (LIQUID) SCINTILLATOR VIEWED BY A PHOTOMULTIPLIER(S) IN A LIGHT- TIGHT BOX MESURES TIME: -> for direction MEASURES # PARTICLES -> for energy estimate &! 1-5 nsec photons/mev energy loss
11 Water Cherenkov Detector (AUGER) 12 m_ ultrapure water duty cycle: 100%! e µ angular resolution! 1.1 energy resolution " order (10%) PMT signals: shape and time information 25 ns intervals distinction between muonic and electromagnetic component
12 GENERAL ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF TAIL CATCHER CALORIMETERS (NOTE: MOST IMPORTANT PHYSICS BELOW 1TEV TO AT MOST 100 TEV i.e. CLOSE ABOVE THRESHOLD) GROUND-BASED TAIL CATCHER ARRAYS HAVE 24 H UP-TIME, ALL YEAR ALL SKY DETECTION (up to 2-3 sterad possible) IACTS 10% duty cycle 0.01 sterad ROBUST NEARLY NEVER MOVING MECHANICAL PARTS HIGH THRESHOLD, VERY STRONG ZENITH ANGLE DEPENDENCE! (cos theta) -(6 to 7)! (cos theta )-2.7 VERY DIFFICULT TO DETECT!s BELOW 1 TEV <100 GeV VERY MODEST ENERGY RESOLUTION CLOSE TO THRESHOLD 10-20% MODEST ANGULAR RESOLUTION. 0.1 PROBLEMS TO FIX ANGULAR REFERENCE POSITION (SHADOW OF THE MOON) ALSO A MAIN WEAKNESS: BASICALLY NO!/HADRON SEPARATION 90-99% DETCTION AREA SHRINKS WITH LARGE ZENITH ANGLE INCREASE w. theta

30 CURRENT SITUATION: THE CURRENT TEV ARRAY CAN BARELY SEE THE STRONGEST! SOURCES (5 + in 1 year), ->NOT MORE COMPETITIVE COMPARED TO IACTS ON MOST! PHYSICS THEIR MAIN PHYSICS GOALS OUTSIDE TEV! ASTRONOMY (CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF CRs, TOTAL SPECTRUM OF CRs..) IS THERE SOME SERIOUS IMPROVEMENT POSSIBLE? IS THERE SOME SERIOUS PHYSICS NEED FOR TEV! ARRAYS?
31 WHERE AND HOW TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE: LOWERING OF THE THRESHOLD (PHYSICS DRIVEN) -> GO TO HIGH ALTITUDE MAKE ALSO USE OF THE MORE ABUNDANT!s IN SHOWER TAIL MAKE THE DETECTOR FULLY ACTIVE INCREASE IN SENSITIVITY -> VERY LARGE AREA FINE, HIGH SENSITIVTY GRANULARITY IMPROVE ON!/h SEPARATION DETECT MUON ANALYSE HIT PATTERN OF TAIL PARTICLES NEVERTHELESS!/h SEPARATION OF IACTS OUT OF REACH KEY OTHER ISSUES EXTREME HIGH TRIGGER RATE-> HUGE READOUT SYSTEM REDUCTION IN COST NEEDED IMPROVE ANGULAR RESOLUTION CLOSE ABOVE THRESHOLD IMPROVE ENERGY RESOLUTION (TRICKY BECAUSE OF FLUCTUATIONS) THERE IS NO PRACTICAL METHOD TO REDUCE STRONG THETA DEPENDENCE OF THRESHOLD TAIL CATCHER CALORIMETERS HAVE SOME FUNDAMENTAL DIFFICULTIES THAT CANNOT BE OVERCOME!!
32 IS THERE A PHYSICS NICHE THAT CANNOT BE COVERED BY EVEN IMPROVED IACTS OR GLAST? (UNPREDICTABLE) FLARING OR VARIABLE VHE/UHE! EMITTERS: A) RARE FLARING AGNS (DURING DAYTIME) B) SHORT GRBS (GRBS DURING DAYTIME) C) UNKNOWN VARIABLE! EMISSION IN OTHER GALAXIES (M87) D) EFFECTS LINKED TO THE SUN(MOON) THE START OF NEUTRINO ASTRONOMY DETECTORS: NEED FOR MAXIMUM SOURCE MONITORING (24 h,all-sky) OF VARIABLE! SOURCES TO EXTRACT PHYSICS FROM THESE SOURCES (IACTS COULD DO THIS IN PART (example source flares during daytime), SINGLE SOURCE OBSERVATION OBSERVATION TIME AT LEADING IACTS VERY PRECIOUS NEED FOR DEDICATED IACTS.) IACT COMMUNITY IS VERY ACTIVE TO IMPROVE DETECTORS
33 A SEVERE PROBLEM WHEN OBSERVING DISTANT OBJECTS(AN,GRB) IN! RAYS ABSORPTION OF ENERGETIC!s BY THE EBL * A LOW THRESHOLD (<< 1 TEV) MANDATORY * GOOD ENERGY RESOLUTION NEEDED << 1TEV
34 Absorption of extragalactic! - rays Any! that crosses cosmological distances through the universe interacts with the EBL +! # HE # EBL " e e E" 1# cos$ ( ) > 2 m e c 2 Attenuated flux function of!-energy and redshift z. ( ) 2 For the energy range of IACTs (10 GeV- 10 TeV), the interaction takes place with the infrared (0.01 ev-3 ev, 100 µm-1 µm). Star formation, Radiation of stars, Absorption and reemission by ISM EBL By measuring the cutoffs in the spectra of AGNs, any suitable type of detector can help in determining the IR background-> needs good energy resolution Acc. by new detectors

36 Extragalactic: Markarian501 (AGN) (MAGIC preliminary) In flare July 9/10: Evidence for fast variability (< 10 min), doubling time O(5min)... (preliminary)
37 THE CHALLENGE TO OBSERVE GRBs More energetic GRBs Only to be seen by all sky monitor detectors Acc. by IACTs, only During clear nights DURATION OF GRBs GRB Positions in Galactic Coordinates, BATSE

39 GRB observation with MAGIC: GRB050713a ApJ Letters 641, L9 (2006) No VHE!s from GRBs seen yet... MAGIC starts data-taking GRB-alarm from SWIFT (all observed GRB very short or very high z)
40 PROPOSED BY PART OF THE MILAGRO GROUP HAWC: HIGH ALTITUDE WATER CHERENKOV DETECTOR AN IMPROVED VERSION OF MILAGRO
41 HAWC Design e µ! 7 meters 200 meters! 200m x 200m water Cherenkov detector! Two layers of 8 PMTs on a 3 meter grid " Top layer under 1.5m water (trigger & angle) " Bottom layer under 6m water (energy & particle ID)! Two altitudes investigated " 4500 m (Tibet, China) " 5200 m (Altacama desert Chile)
42 HAWC! A large area, high altitude all sky VHE detector will: " Detect the Crab in a single transit " Detect AGN to z = 0.3 " Observe 15 minute flaring from AGN " Detect GRB emission at ~50 GeV / redshift ~1 " Detect 6-10 GRBs/year (EGRET 6 in 9 years) " Monitor GLAST sources " Have excellent discovery potential! Continuing work " Improve background rejection & event reconstruction # Increase sensitivity by ~50% - 100%? # Develop energy estimator " Detailed detector design (electronics, DAQ, infrastructure) " Reliable cost estimate needed (~$30M???) " Site selection (Chile, Tibet, White Mountain)! Time Line " 2004 R&D proposal to NSF " 2006 full proposal to NSF " construction
43 HAWC Performance Requirements! Energy Threshold ~20 GeV # GRBs visible to redshift ~1 # Near known GRB energy # AGN to redshift ~0.3! Large fov (~2 sr) / High duty cycle (~100%) # GRBs prompt emission # AGN transients! Large Area / Good Background Rejection " High signal rate " Ability to detect Crab Nebula in single transit! Moderate Energy Resolution (~40%) " Measure GRB spectra " Measure AGN flaring spectra GUS SINNIS, ARGONNE NAT. LAB
44 Effective Area vs. Energy IACT
45 Point Source Sensitivity! HESS, MAGIC 5+/50 h
46 A POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE DETECTOR CONCEPT DO NOT USE TAIL CATCHER PRINCIPLE DETECT CHERENKOV LIGHT FROM SHOWERS STOPPING HIGH IN THE ATMOSPHERE OPTIONS: USE ARRAYS OF LIGHT SENSORS A) ARRAY OF OPEN PMTS LOOKING DIRECTLY INTO THE SKY B) ARRAY OF IACTS EACH POINTING TO A SMALL AREA OF THE SKY (<0.025 sterad/iact) ADVANTAGES CAN COVER LARGE ANGLE->ALL SKY MONITOR LOW THRESHOLD (IACTS), THRESHOLD LESS THETA DEP. BEST ENERGY RESOLUTION GOOD ANGULAR RESOLUTION MUCH BETTER!/h SEPARATION->HIGH SENSITIVITY OPEN PMT ARRAY RELATIVELY CHEAP IACT ARRAYS: CAN FOCUS ON ONE OBJECT DISADVANTAGES LOSS OF 24 H DUTY CYCLE (> 3 ARRAYS AROUND EARTH) LOOSE OFTEN OPPORTUNITY TO MONITOR SKY AREA FOR MORE THAN HALF A YEAR (NORTH/SOUTH ARRAYS) WEATHER DEPENDENT/CLEAR NIGHT SKY(Moon less probl.) SERVICE DEMANDING IACT ARRAYS QUITE EXPENSIVE
