Development and characterization of a test stand for Compact High Energy Camera (CHEC-S) mass test(pdf)

In the context of the CTA-project, I will present my research for the master thesis. I will describe the requirements to test the Compact High Energy Camera (CHEC-S), which is part of the dual-mirror Small-Sized Telescope (SST-2M) and the camera itself. I will introduce the development of an optical test stand with a laser and a five axis scanner with a photodiode, which is able to move in the test stand and present the software for it. Further I want to show preliminary results of the characterization of the test stand and also show where my master thesis aims at.
