Detailed studies of atmospheric calibration in imaging Cherenkov astronomy

Nolan, S.J.; Pühlhofer, G.; Rulten, C.B.

Abstract

► A ceilometer was used to probe the atmosphere above the TeV instrument H.E.S.S. ► The atmosphere was modelled using MODTRAN and used in cosmic-ray simulations. ► Cosmic-ray simulations were matched to real background data. ► TeV Gamma-ray data affected by poor weather was successfully corrected.
