Prototype Tests for the CELESTE Solar Array Gamma--Ray Telescope
arXiv:astro-ph/9803198 · doi:10.1016/S0168-9002(98)00463-X
Abstract
The CELESTE experiment will be an Atmospheric Cherenkov detector designed to bridge the gap in energy sensitivity between current satellite and ground-based gamma-ray telescopes, 20 to 300 GeV. We present test results made at the former solar power plant, Themis, in the French Pyrenees. The tests confirm the viability of using a central tower heliostat array for Cherenkov wavefront sampling.
