    118118We propose to set up a robotic imaging air-Cherenkov telescope with low
    119 cost, but a high performance design for remote operation. The goal is to
    120 dedicate this gamma-ray telescope to long-term monitoring observations
    121 of nearby, bright blazars at very high energies. We will (i) search for
    122 orbital modulation of the blazar emission due to supermassive black
    123 hole binaries, (ii) study the statistics of flares and their physical
    124 origin, and (iii) correlate the data with corresponding data from the
    125 neutrino observatory IceCube to search for evidence of hadronic
    126 emission processes. The observations will furthermore trigger follow-up
    127 observations of flares with higher sensitivity telescopes such as
    128 MAGIC, VERITAS and H.E.S.S.\ Joint observations with the Whipple
    129 monitoring telescope will start a future 24\,h-monitoring of selected
    130 sources with a distributed network of robotic telescopes. The telescope
    131 design is based on a complete technological upgrade of one of the former
    132 telescopes of the HEGRA collaboration (CT3) still located at the
    133 Observatorio Roque de los Muchachos on the Canarian Island La Palma
    134 (Spain). After this upgrade, the telescope will be operated
    135 robotically, a much lower energy threshold below 350\,GeV will be
    136 achieved and the observation time required for gaining the same signal
    137 as with CT3 will be reduced by a factor of six.

    142 {\bf Unser Vorhaben besteht darin, ein robotisches Luft-Cherenkov-Teleskop
    143 mit geringen Kosten aber hoher Leistung fernsteuerbar in Betrieb zu
    144 nehmen. Das Ziel ist es, dieses Gammastrahlen Teleskop ganz der
    145 Langzeitbeobachtung von nahen, hellen Blazaren bei sehr hohen Energien
    146 zu widmen. Wir werden (i) nach Modulationen der Blazar-Emission durch
    147 Bin"arsysteme von supermassiven Schwarzen L"ochern suchen, (ii) die
    148 Statistik von gamma-Ausbr"uchen und deren physikalischen Ursprung
    149 untersuchen und (iii) die Daten mit entsprechenden Daten von dem
    150 Neutrino-Teleskop IceCube korrelieren, um Nachweise f"ur hadronische
    151 Emissionsprozesse zu finden. Die Beobachtungen werden zus"atzlich
    152 Nachfolgebeobachtungen von gamma-Ausbr"uchen mit h"ohersensitiven
    153 Teleskopen wie MAGIC, VERITAS und H.E.S.S.\ triggern. Aufeinander
    154 abgestimmte Beobachtungen zusammen mit dem Whipple Teleskop werden der
    155 Auftakt zu einer zuk"unftigen 24-Stunden-Beobachtung von selektierten
    156 Quellen mit einem verteilten Netzwerk robotischer Cherenkov-Teleskope
    157 sein. Das Teleskop-Design basiert auf einem kompletten technologischen
    158 Upgrade eines der Teleskope der fr"uheren HEGRA-Kollaboration, welches
    159 noch immer am Observatorio Roque de los Muchachos auf der kanarischen
    160 Insel La Palma (Spanien) gelegen ist. Nach diesem Upgrade wird das
    161 Teleskop robotisch betrieben werden und eine wesentlich geringere
    162 Energieschwelle von unter 350\,GeV aufweisen, w"ahrend gleichzeitig die
    163 notwendige Beobachtungszeit, um dasselbe Signal wie CT3 zu erhalten, um
    164 einen Faktor sechs verringert wird.}

     142Das Ziel unseres Vorhabens ist es, ein abbildendes
     143Luft-Cherenkov-Teleskop mit geringen Kosten, aber hoher Leistung f"ur
     144den ferngesteuerten Betrieb aufzubauen. Die Motivation ist die
     145kontinuierliche Langzeitbeobachtung von hellen, nahen Blazaren bei sehr
     146hohen Energien. Mit diesen Beobachtungen werden wir nach
     147bahndynamischen Modulationen suchen, welche von Bin"arsystemen
     148supermassiver schwarzer L"ocher in der emittierten Strahlung
     149hervorgerufen werden. Au"serdem werden die gewonnenen Daten mit den
     150entsprechenden Daten des Neutrinoteleskops IceCube korreliert, um nach
     151Hinweisen f"ur hadroninduzierte Emissionsprozesse zu suchen. Die
     152kontinuierliche "Uberwachung ausgew"ahlter Quellen wird zudem besser
     153aufgel"oste Beobachtungen und Nachbeobachtungen von
     154Strahlungsausbr"uchen durch Teleskope h"oherer Sensitivit"at, wie z.B.\
     155MAGIC, VERITAS und H.E.S.S., erlauben. Die zeitversetzten, gemeinsamen
     156Beobachtungen zusammen mit dem Whipple-Teleskop stellen den Beginn
     157ununterbrochener Beobachtungen mit einem weltweiten Netzwerk
     158robotischer Teleskope dar. Unser Teleskopdesign basiert auf einer
     159technischen Runderneuerung eines Teleskops der fr"uheren
     160HEGRA-Kollaboration (CT3), welches noch immer am Observatorio del Roque de
     161los Muchachos auf der Kanarischen Insel La Palma (Spanien) steht. Nach
     162dieser Aufr"ustung wird das Teleskop vollst"andig ferngesteuert
     163betrieben werden, eine viel niedrigere Energieschwelle von unter
     164350\,GeV erreichen und die Beobachtungszeit, um ein gleichstarkes
     165Signal wie mit CT3 zu erhalten, wird um einen Faktor sechs k"urzer

     1304%For long-term observations, the stability of the camera is a major
     1305%criterion. To keep the systematic errors small, a good background
     1306%estimation is mandatory. The only possibility for a synchronous
     1307%determination of the background is the measurement from the night-sky
     1308%observed in the same field-of-view with the same instrument. To achieve
     1309%this, the observed position is moved out of the camera center which
     1310%allows the estimation of the background from positions symmetric with
     1311%respect to the camera center (so called Wobble mode). This observation
     1312%mode increases the sensitivity by a factor of $\sqrt{2}$, because
     1313%spending observation time for dedicated background observations becomes
     1314%obsolete, i.e.\ observation time for the source is doubled. This
     1315%ensures in addition a better time coverage of the observed sources.\\
     1316%A further increase in sensitivity can be achieved by better background
     1317%statistics from not only one but several independent positions for the
     1318%background estimation in the camera \citep{Lessard:2001}. To allow for
     1319%this the source position in Wobble mode should be shifted
     1320%$0.6^\circ-0.7^\circ$ out of the camera center.
     1321%
     1322%A camera completely containing the shower images of events in the energy
     1323%region of 1\,TeV-10\,TeV should have a diameter in the order of
     1324%5$^\circ$. To decrease the dependence of the measurements on the camera
     1325%geometry, a camera layout as symmetric as possible will be chosen.
     1326%Consequently a camera allowing to fulfill these requirements should be
     1327%round and have a diameter of $4.5^\circ-5.0^\circ$.
     1328%
     1329%Therefore a camera with 313 pixel camera (see fig.~\ref{camDWARF}) is
     1330%chosen. The camera will be built based on the experience with HEGRA and
     1331%MAGIC. 19\,mm diameter Photomultiplier Tubes (PM, EMI\,9083B/KFLA-UD)
     1332%will be bought, similar to the HEGRA type (EMI\,9083\,KFLA). They have
     1333%a quantum efficiency improved by 25\% (see fig.~\ref{qe}) and ensure a
     1334%granularity which is enough to guarantee good results even below the
     1335%energy threshold (flux peak energy). Each individual pixel has to be
     1336%equipped with a preamplifier, an active high-voltage supply and
     1337%control. The total expense for a single pixel will be in the order of
     1338%650,-\,\euro.
     1339%
     1340%All possibilities of borrowing one of the old HEGRA cameras for a
     1341%transition time have been probed and refused by the owners of the
     1342%cameras.
     1343%
     1344%At ETH~Z\"{u}rich currently test measurements are ongoing to prove the
     1345%ability, i.e.\ stability, aging, quantum efficiency, etc., of using
     1346%Geiger-mode APDs (GAPD) as photon detectors in the camera of a
     1347%Cherenkov telescope. The advantages are an extremely high quantum
     1348%efficiency ($>$50\%), easier gain stabilization and simplified
     1349%application compared to classical PMs. If these test measurements are
     1350%successfully finished until 8/2008, we consider to use GAPDs in favor
     1351%of classical PMs. The design of such a camera would take place at
     1352%University Dortmund in close collaboration with the experts from ETH.
     1353%The construction would also take place at the electronics workshop of
     1354%Dortmund.

     1359%For this setup the camera holding has to be redesigned. (1500,-\,\euro)
     1360%The camera chassis must be water tight and will be equipped with an
     1361%automatic lid, protecting the PMs at daytime. For further protection, a
     1362%plexi-glass window will be installed in front of the camera. By coating
     1363%this window with an anti-reflex layer of magnesium-fluoride, a gain in
     1364%transmission of 5\% is expected. Each PM will be equipped with a

     1397%allows to use a low-cost industrial solution for readout of the system,
     1398%like USB\,2.0.

     1400%Current results obtained with the new 2\,GHz FADC system in the MAGIC
     1401%data acquisition show, that for a single telescope a sensitivity
     1402%improvement of 40\% with a fast FADC system is achievable \citep{Tescaro:2007}.
     1403%
     1404%Like for the HEGRA telescopes a simple multiplicity trigger is
     1405%sufficient, but also a simple neighbor-logic could be programmed (both
     1406%cases $\sim$100,-\,\euro/channel).
     1407%
     1408%Additional data reduction and preprocessing within the readout chain is
     1409%provided. Assuming conservatively a readout rate of 30\,Hz, the storage
     1410%space needed will be less than 250\,GB/month or 3\,TB/year. This amount
     1411%of data can easily be stored and processed by the W\"{u}rzburg
     1412%Datacenter (current capacity $>$80\,TB, $>$40\,CPUs).

     1418%The existing mirrors will be replaced by new plastic mirrors currently
     1419%developed by Wolfgang Dr\"{o}ge's group. The cheap and light-weight
     1420%material has been formerly used for Winston cones in balloon
     1421%experiments. The mirrors are copied from a master and coated with a
     1422%reflecting and a protective material. Tests have given promising
     1423%results. By a change of the mirror geometry, the mirror area can be
     1424%increased from 8.5\,m$^2$ to 13\,m$^2$ (see picture~\ref{CT3} and
     1425%montage~\ref{DWARF}). This includes an increase of $\sim$10$\%$ per
     1426%mirror by using a hexagonal layout instead of a round one. A further
     1427%increase of the mirror area would require a reconstruction of parts of
     1428%the mount and will therefore be considered only in a later phase of the
     1429%experiment.
     1430%
     1431%If the current development of the plastic mirrors cannot be finished in
     1432%time, a re-machining of the old glass mirrors (8.5\,m$^2$) is possible
     1433%with high purity aluminum and quartz coating.
     1434%
     1435%In both cases the mirrors can be coated with the same high reflectivity
     1436%aluminized Mylar mirror-foil and a dialectical layer of $SiO_2$ as for
     1437%the Winston cones. By this, a gain in reflectivity of $\sim10\%$ is
     1438%achieved, see fig.~\ref{reflectivity} \citep{Fraunhofer}. Both
     1439%solutions would require the same expenses.
