The Cherenkov Telescope Array is the next generation of ground-based gamma-ray telescope array, and will afford us unprecedented sensitivity and energy/spatial resolution. However, it will also introduce new calibration challenges. This PhD project will make significant contributions to addressing these calibration challenges. Specifically, the student will characterize the camera flasher calibration systems of CTA's small-sized-telescopes, as well as contribute to refining the UAV calibration technique. Exploratory work will also occur to investigate whether these calibration systems can be adapted for other Astro particle experiments.

切伦科夫望远镜阵列是下一代地面伽马射线望远镜阵列，将为我们提供前所未有的灵敏度和能量/空间分辨率。然而，它也将带来新的校准挑战。该博士项目将为解决这些校准挑战做出重大贡献。具体来说，学生将表征 CTA 小型望远镜的相机闪光校准系统，并为完善无人机校准技术做出贡献。还将进行探索性工作，以研究这些校准系统是否可以适用于其他 Astro 粒子实验。
