Description
In modern astrophysics, the innovation of new instruments for the detection of high-energy particles is very relevant for the next generation of gamma-ray observatories such as SWGO (Southern Wide-Field Gamma-Ray Observatory). The HAWCS’s Eye telescope is a prototype of a proposed compact wide-field-of-view Imaging Air-Cherenkov Telescope (IACT). It is designed as a SiPM-based 61-pixel telescope featuring a sealed Fresnel optic, and a versatile DAQ. In the following work, the characterization of a simulated array of 55 HAWC’s Eye telescopes at 4,100 m a.s.l. is shown, considering single and stereoscopic observations with a different number of telescopes and configurations. This project was realized with the support of DGAPA PAPIIT IG101320. The authors thankfully acknowledge the computer resources, technical expertise, and support provided by the Laboratorio Nacional de Supercómputo del Sureste de México, CONACYT member of the network of national laboratories.
