Abstract
The Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO) is an international collaboration working on realizing a next-generation observatory located in the Southern hemisphere, which offers a privileged view of our galactic center. We are working on the construction of a prototype water Cherenkov detector at Politecnico di Milano using a flexible testing facility for several candidate light sensors and configurations. A structure able to hold different types of detectors in multiple configurations has been designed, built and tested in Politecnico's labs. Furthermore, an analytical study of muons and electrons showers has been carried out using the SWGO observatory simulation software to examine the correlation between the detection capabilities of the prototype tank and its water level.
南方宽视场伽玛射线天文台(SWGO)是一项国际合作,致力于实现位于南半球的下一代天文台,它提供了我们银河系中心的特权视图。我们正在米兰理工大学(Politecnico di Milano)建造一个水切伦科夫探测器的原型,使用一个灵活的测试设备来测试几种候选的光传感器和配置。一种能够容纳多种配置的不同类型探测器的结构已经在巴黎理工大学的实验室中设计、制造和测试。此外,利用SWGO天文台模拟软件进行了介子和电子阵雨的分析研究,以检验原型水箱的探测能力与其水位之间的相关性。
