Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Some features of scintillation anticoincidence system (includes ACtop detector section located upper the converter-tracker and four AClat ones placed from its lateral sides) of the GАММА-400 gamma-ray telescope, related to joint operations with another fast scintillation systems: SDC (scintillation detector system of calorimeter) and TOF (time-of-flight system) are considered. The main problem for high-energy (over 50GeV) gamma-rays registration by gamma-telescopes is the presence of so-called «backsplash current» (BS) of particles from massive calorimeter when detecting of particles is provided. BS is a set of low energy particles, moving up from the calorimeter and producing triggering of the anticoincidence detectors, imitating detection of a charged particle. As an additional indicator of BS particles presence of in the ACtop detector, we offer the value of energy release in the S3 scintillation detector placing between two parts of the calorimeter (CC1 and CC2). Fast trigger signal in the main aperture for gamma-quanta is composed of analysis of TOF system signal, showing that charged particle or particles move in the direction from up to down, and ACtop energy deposition taking in to account specially designed for GAMMA-400 algorithms of backsplash rejection.
