  33. TA-LINAC –for fluorescence yield measurement- • TA-FD can be calibrated end-to-end by TA-LINAC • The difference btw LINAC beam and Air shower • The height of the emission the photon • Air shower (XMAX) ~ a few km • LINAC beam ~70m • Atmospheric condition • Pressure, temperature has systematic difference. • The variation of humidity is bigger than high atmosphere. • (affected by the rain of before days. • Our countermeasure • Use result of yield measurement • Use the result of only dry days. • Of cause, we can measure this dependence by using daily difference of atmospheric condition.

  36. PMTuniformity (XY Scanner) • XY Scanner • Spot: 4mm • Step: 4mm • 8LED • Method of analysis • We adjust position of each PMTs by center of gravity. • After normalization, we add data of each PMTs. (intensity of each LEDs) • This data is normalized by “The average value of each bins inside circle (dia. 36mm) will be 1”. This condition is determined by CRAYS. Comparison with HAMAMATSU measurement → Consistent !

  37. XY Scanner PMT境界 • PMTごとの中心距離は62mm • 全体の積分値に対する境界の外のBinの積分値の割合は • 境界線の外のBin→0.1% • 境界線上のBin→0.9% PMT境界

  38. Uniformity:ratio of deviation in each bins • Evaluation of characteristics of each PMTs. • sigma/mean ratio plot. • Peak value is about 4%. High sensitivity area has this value. • The edge area (low sensitivity) has bigger error ratio. • Inside 90% circle area (dia. 27.5mm), maximum value is 33%, and 95% is less than 10%.
