Abstract

The full array of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has been in operation since July 2021. For its kilometer-square array (KM2A), we optimized the selection criteria for very high and ultra-high energy γ-rays using data collected from August 2021 to August 2022, resulting in an improvement in significance of the detection in the Crab Nebula of approximately 15%, compared with that of previous cuts. With the implementation of these new selection criteria, the angular resolution was also significantly improved by approximately 10% at tens of TeV. Other aspects of the full KM2A array performance, such as the pointing error, were also calibrated using the Crab Nebula. The resulting energy spectrum of the Crab Nebula in the energy range of 10-1000 TeV are well fitted by a log-parabola model, which is consistent with the previous results from LHAASO and other experiments.

利用蟹状星云优化 KM2A 全阵列的性能*

大型高空气流淋浴观测台（LHAASO）的全阵列已于 2021 年 7 月开始运行。对于其千米方阵（KM2A），我们利用2021年8月至2022年8月收集的数据优化了对极高能和超高能γ射线的选择标准，结果蟹状星云的探测显著性比以前的切割提高了约15%。随着这些新选择标准的实施，在数十 TeV 的角度分辨率也显著提高了约 10%。KM2A全阵列性能的其他方面，例如指向误差，也利用蟹状星云进行了校准。蟹状星云在10-1000 TeV能量范围内的能谱结果被对数抛物线模型很好地拟合，这与LHAASO和其他实验之前的结果是一致的。
