论文摘要
天体物理来源中的瞬时和可变现象对于理解潜在的伽马射线排放过程至关重要。在最高的能量伽马射线域中,瞬态和可变来源与带电的粒子加速过程有关,例如,可以帮助理解宇宙射线的起源。 $ \ sim 100 $ gev的成像大气Cherenkov技术非常适合检测此类事件。但是,标准分析方法对于这样的目标并不是最佳的,并且在本出版物中特别开发了更敏感的方法。因此,灵敏度的提高可能有助于检测短暂而微弱的短暂源,例如伽马射线爆发。
Transient and variable phenomena in astrophysical sources are of particular importance to understand the underlying gamma-ray emission processes. In the very-high energy gamma-ray domain, transient and variable sources are related to charged particle acceleration processes that could for instance help understanding the origin of cosmic-rays. The imaging atmospheric Cherenkov technique used for gamma-ray astronomy above $\sim 100$ GeV is well suited for detecting such events. However, the standard analysis methods are not optimal for such a goal and more sensitive methods are specifically developed in this publication. The sensitivity improvement could therefore be helpful to detect brief and faint transient sources such as Gamma-Ray Bursts.
