A mount for the Cherenkov-plenoscope that can be build today.


Working together


The ETH Institute for Particle Physics explores together with the ETH Department for Civil Engineering the possibilites to build nothing less but the most powerfull cosmic gamma-ray-timing-explorer ever planned.

Simulating the mount


Finite element simulations from civil engineering are combined with scinetific raytracing from particle physics. Together, the mechanical structure of the novel cable-robo-mount is investigated using its optical performance as a feedback.
