Study of the performance of an array of Cherenkov telescopes by means of multi-objective evolutionary optimisation. (arXiv:1907.12041v1 [astro-ph.IM]) <a href="http://arxiv.org/find/astro-ph/1/au:+Souto_B/0/1/0/all/0/1">Bruno Fontes Souto</a>, <a href="http://arxiv.org/find/astro-ph/1/au:+Almeida_U/0/1/0/all/0/1">Ulisses Barres de Almeida</a> This paper is concerned with the performance optimisation of an stereoscopic array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) as a function of their positioning on the ground. In this first work we are concerned primarily with the study of the optimisation method and its test on toy arrays of few (3-6) telescopes. The ideas presented here were developed to investigate alternative ways of studying IACT array geometries. The proposal is an attempt to cover more exhaustively and systematicallyRead More →
