Description
The SST camera of CTA is a Silicon Photo-Multiplier (SiPM) based 2048-pixel camera with 1 GSps full waveform readout. Its current prototype iteration underwent field tests in July 2025.
This work presents:
- extraction of key performance parameters of the SiPMs employed in the SST camera such as gain, resolution, and pedestal position and width, using laborartory data.
- application of resulting calibration parameters to the data taken during the recent field test campaign.
- comparison of Cherenkov shower image distributions between field data and MonteCarlo simulations.
- search for Muons in the data set, building from a previous work on a muon tagger.
