Tests characterization and alignment for the optics of the ASTRI SST-2M telescope prototype for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
2014
ASTRI SST-2M is a prototype dual mirror Small Size class of Telescope for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). Its
innovative design based on a Schwarzschild-Couder configuration will permit use Silicon Photo-multipliers as focalplane
detectors. The dual mirror configuration is a challenge for the realization of both the primary and secondary.
Accurate tests and characterization are mandatory to understand the behavior of the optical configuration, its limits and
the possibility of improvements of the full CTA array. Moreover, optical alignment requires solutions and procedures
that have not been used so far on Cherenkov telescopes. The aim of paper is to provide an analysis of these topics in the
context of the ASTRI SST-2M telescope.
