Camera Efficiency#
Main functionality for the camera_efficiency module is to provide an interface to the testeff program provided by sim_telarray.
A TelescopeModel and few more physical parameters (zenith angle, etc) are required inputs.
camera_efficiency#
Camera efficiency simulations and analysis.
- class camera_efficiency.CameraEfficiency(telescope_model, site_model, simtel_source_path, label=None, config_data=None, config_file=None, test=False)[source]#
Camera efficiency simulations and analysis.
- Parameters:
- telescope_model: TelescopeModel
Instance of the TelescopeModel class.
- site_model: SiteModel
Instance of the SiteModel class.
- simtel_source_path: str (or Path)
Location of sim_telarray installation.
- label: str
Instance label, optional.
- config_data: dict.
Dict containing the configurable parameters.
- config_file: str or Path
Path of the yaml file containing the configurable parameters.
- test: bool
Is it a test instance (at the moment only affects the location of files).
- analyze(export=True, force=False)[source]#
Analyze camera efficiency output file and store the results in _results.
- Parameters:
- export: bool
If True, results will be exported to a file automatically. Alternatively, export_results function can be used.
- force: bool
If True, existing results files will be removed and analysis will be done again.
- calc_camera_efficiency()[source]#
Calculate the camera nominal efficiency including gaps (as defined in B-TEL-1170).
- Returns:
- cam_efficiency: float
Wavelength-averaged camera efficiency
- calc_nsb_rate()[source]#
Calculate the NSB rate.
- Returns:
- nsb_rate_provided_spectrum: float
NSB pixel rate in p.e./ns for the provided NSB spectrum
- nsb_rate_ref_conditions: float
NSB pixel rate in p.e./ns for reference conditions (https://jama.cta-observatory.org/perspective.req#/items/26694?projectId=11)
- calc_reflectivity()[source]#
Calculate the Cherenkov spectrum weighted reflectivity in the range 300-550 nm.
- Returns:
- Float
Cherenkov spectrum weighted reflectivity (300-550 nm)
- calc_tel_efficiency()[source]#
Calculate the telescope total efficiency including gaps (as defined in A-PERF-2020).
- Returns:
- tel_efficiency: float
Telescope efficiency
- calc_tot_efficiency(tel_efficiency)[source]#
Calculate the telescope total efficiency including gaps (as defined in A-PERF-2020).
- Parameters:
- tel_efficiency: float
The telescope efficiency as calculated by calc_tel_efficiency()
- Returns:
- Float
Telescope total efficiency including gaps
- classmethod from_kwargs(**kwargs)[source]#
Build a CameraEfficiency object from kwargs only.
The configurable parameters can be given as kwargs, instead of using the config_data or config_file arguments.
- Parameters:
- kwargs
Containing the arguments and the configurable parameters.
- Returns:
- Instance of this class.
- plot_cherenkov_efficiency()[source]#
Plot Cherenkov efficiency vs wavelength.
- Returns:
- fig
The figure instance of pyplot
- plot_nsb_efficiency()[source]#
Plot NSB efficiency vs wavelength.
- Returns:
- fig
The figure instance of pyplot
