Status of the H.E.S.S. I Camera Upgrade — •Iryna Lypova1 and for the H.E.S.S. collaboration21DESY, Platanenallee 6, D-15738 Zeuthen, Germany — 2https://www.mpi-hd.mpg.de/hfm/HESS/

The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is an array of one big and four small size Cherenkov telescopes located in Namibia. In July 2015 the camera electronics of one of the small telescopes (CT1) was renewed. The upgrade of three more (CT2-4) telescopes is planned to happen in 2016. The main goals of the upgrade is to reduce the dead time of the small telescopes, decrease the influence of night sky background light and hence improve the sensitivity of the system. For better understanding of the performance of the new camera, Monte-Carlo simulations are necessary. For their production, the CORSIKA and sim_telarray codes were used. During the talk, an overview of the CT1-4 cameras upgrade and the status of the new simulations production will be presented.
