The TARGET module calibration procedure and performance for the SST Camera — •Benjamin Schwab for the CTA collaboration — ECAP, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg

The SST Camera is part of the Small Sized Telescope (SST) which will probe the TeV gamma-ray universe as part of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO). The basis of this camera builds the TeV Array Read-out with GSa/s sampling and Event Trigger (TARGET) module with its ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) CTC and CT5TEA. The tasks of the TARGET module range from supplying the silicon photomultiplier pixel with the needed high voltage to the shaping, sampling, triggering and digitisation of events. A total of 64 pixel can be handled with one module, resulting in a total number of 32 modules per camera. The required calibration routines for the module commissioning and the performance of the signal and trigger path shall be discussed in detail.
