Reconstruction of Cherenkov radiation signals from extensive air showers of cosmic rays using data of a wide field-of-view telescope
The operation of a wide field-of-view (WFOV) Cherenkov telescope is described. The detection of extensive air showers (EAS) of cosmic rays (CR) is based upon the coincidence with signals from the Yakutsk array. The data acquisition system of the telescope yields signals connected with EAS developmen...

The operation of a wide field-of-view (WFOV) Cherenkov telescope is described.

Here we describe the method of signal processing used to reconstruct Cherenkov radiation signals induced by CR showers.
