利用argo-ybj實(shí)驗(yàn)對(duì)時(shí)變現(xiàn)象的研究

1、利用ARGO-YBJ實(shí)驗(yàn)對(duì)時(shí)變 現(xiàn)象的研究,陳垚，姚志國，查敏 代表ARGO-YBJ實(shí)驗(yàn)2010年4月18日,主要內(nèi)容,高能伽瑪天文和時(shí)變現(xiàn)象；ARGO數(shù)據(jù)質(zhì)量檢查；背景估計(jì)法介紹；觀測結(jié)果和討論。,高能伽瑪天文和時(shí)變現(xiàn)象,高能伽瑪天文是研究宇宙線的起源、加速和傳播；研究對(duì)象:穩(wěn)定高能伽瑪源;高能伽瑪源時(shí)變現(xiàn)象，如耀類星體;GRB;……伽瑪天文的觀測實(shí)驗(yàn)：基于衛(wèi)星探測器( Fermi );成像大氣契倫克夫望

4、。,數(shù)據(jù)質(zhì)量檢查,由于時(shí)變現(xiàn)象的特性，對(duì)數(shù)據(jù)質(zhì)量要求較高，需要進(jìn)行數(shù)據(jù)質(zhì)量檢查；原理：數(shù)據(jù)質(zhì)量低時(shí)，某些統(tǒng)計(jì)量將變異常; 由統(tǒng)計(jì)量的值來判定數(shù)據(jù)質(zhì)量。,一些用到的統(tǒng)計(jì)量：Event rate;Reconstructed events number / live time;Mean Chi-square value; Mean Nhits;Proportion of events with: zenith in cert

5、ain range; azimuth in certain range;Core in certain quadrant.,@ May 25, 2008某channel掉高壓時(shí)某些統(tǒng)計(jì)量異常,約排除 3% 的事例 ;ARGO運(yùn)行日志里記載的導(dǎo)致數(shù)據(jù)質(zhì)量降低的事件都被排除;一些統(tǒng)計(jì)量的分布變得正常，見下圖。,逐級(jí)檢查,事例率隨時(shí)間變化,方位角0-PI的事例所占比例,背景估計(jì)方法：Surrounding bins method,將

6、天區(qū)劃分為許多矩形的格子：各個(gè)格子接收度基本相等，?? 為赤緯方向上長度，?αi 為赤經(jīng)方向上長度, ~ ?? /cos?i;格子大小 ~ 角分辨率~ 能段;每一個(gè)格子都有一個(gè)對(duì)應(yīng)的環(huán)繞的區(qū)域用于估計(jì)該格子的背景事例數(shù)：能將事例率隨時(shí)間變化帶來的影響最小化；基本不受方位角不均勻性影響。NB = ?i?ni ? ?i?nioffRi ;,,Astroparticle Physics 33 (2010) 24-39,其中，格子
