FACT - Analysis of Photon-Stream Data of the Crab Nebula — •Kevin Sedlaczek1 and Maximilian Nöthe2 for the FACT collaboration — 1Technische Universität Dortmund, Deutschland — 2Technische Universität Dortmund, Deutschland
The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT), located at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain), is designed to detect cosmic gamma rays at energies around 1 TeV. It is the first full-size Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope equipped with G-APD photon detectors. The events recorded by FACT can be represented in a format containing a list of arrival times of individual photons. This list is called the photon-stream and designed to suit high level physics analysis. The performance on physics analyses is still one of the open questions concerning this new representation. For this purpose, an analysis of the Crab Nebula is performed on the photon-stream data. The Crab Nebula is a well measured source of gamma rays and therefore predestinated for such a comparative analysis. First results from this ongoing work will be discussed.
