FlashCam小组目前正在为Cherenkov望远镜阵列（CTA）的中型望远镜（MST）准备光电倍增管相机。相机是围绕FlashCam读出概念设计的，这是Cherenkov相机的第一个全数字读出系统，基于商用fadc和fpga作为前端电子模块的关键组件，并以高性能相机服务器作为后端。这篇文章描述了目前正在建造的全尺寸FlashCam相机原型的进展，以及早期演示装置所获得的性能结果。还简要介绍了现场生产和实施闪光灯的计划。
The FlashCam group is currently preparing photomultiplier-tube based cameras proposed for the medium-sized telescopes (MST) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). The cameras are designed around the FlashCam readout concept which is the first fully-digital readout system for Cherenkov cameras, based on commercial FADCs and FPGAs as key components for the front-end electronics modules and a high performance camera server as back-end. This contribution describes the progress of the full-scale FlashCam camera prototype currently under construction, as well as performance results also obtained with earlier demonstrator setups. Plans towards the production and implementation of FlashCams on site are also briefly presented.
