5 - a 5 GeV energy threshold array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes at 5 km altitude
We discuss the concept and the performance of a powerful future ground-based astronomical instrument, 5@5 a 5 GeV energy threshold stereoscopic array of several large imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes installed at a very high mountain elevation of about 5 km a.s.l. for the study of the γ-ray sky at energies from approximately 5 GeV to 100 GeV, where the capabilities of both the current s...
متن کاملA 5 GeV energy threshold array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes at 5 km altitude
We discuss the concept and the performance of a powerful future ground-based astronomical instrument a stereoscopic array of several large imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes installed at a very high mountain elevation of about 5 km a.s.l. for the study of the γ-ray sky at energies from several GeV to 100 GeV. With its capability to detect the “standard” EGRET sources with spectra extendin...
متن کاملExploring physics of rotation powered pulsars with sub-10 GeV imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes
We discuss the potential of future sub-10 GeV threshold imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope arrays for exploring the physics of rotation powered pulsars and their interactions with the ambient medium through relativistic winds and termination shocks. One such telescope is the high-altitude concept called “5@5” recently suggested by Aharonian et al. (2001). 5@5, with its enormous detection a...
متن کاملA Topological Trigger System for Imaging Atmospheric-Cherenkov Telescopes
A fast trigger system is being designed as a potential upgrade to VERITAS, or as the basis for a future array of imaging atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes such as AGIS. The scientific goal is a reduction of the energy threshold1by a factor of 2 over the current threshold of VERITAS of around 130 GeV. The trigger is being designed to suppress both accidentals from the night-sky background and cos...
