Description
The initial test phase of the CELESTE experiment operated from October 1996 to February 1997. Two groups of three heliostats were used to reflect Cherenkov photons onto two secondary mirrors in the central tower. Fast photomultipliers in the focal plane of these secondary mirrors each 'see' only a single heliostats, allowing six-fold coincidences. We have studied coincidence rates as a function of the heliostats pointing altitude and as a function of the phototube (i.e. heliostats) threshold in photoelectrons. Pulse shape analysis and the event triggering will be a critical point and originality of the experiment
