SGARFACE: A Novel Detector For Microsecond Gamma Ray Bursts
S. LeBohec, F. Krennrich, G. Sleege
Abstract
The Short GAmma Ray Front Air Cherenkov Experiment (SGARFACE) is operated at the Whipple Observatory utilizing the Whipple 10m gamma-ray telescope. SGARFACE is sensitive to gamma-ray bursts of more than 100MeV with durations from 100ns to 35us and provides a fluence sensitivity as low as 0.8 gamma-rays per m2 above 200MeV (0.05 gamma-rays per m2 above 2GeV) and allows to record the burst time structure.
