Gamma-ray astronomy from the ground -- future perspectives
Jim Hinton
I provide a personal perspective on the future of the field of ground-based gamma-ray astronomy, on the occasion of the 2024 {\it Gamma} conference in Milan. I discuss some of the…
Instrumenting a Lake as a Wide-Field Gamma-ray Detector
Hazal Goksu, Werner Hofmann, Felix Werner +2
Ground-level particle detection has recently emerged as an extremely powerful approach to TeV-PeV gamma-ray astronomy. The most successful observatories of this type, HAWC and LHAA…
Prototyping Hexagonal Light Concentrators Using High-Reflectance Specular Films for the Large-Sized Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Akira Okumura, Dang Viet Tan, Sakiya Ono +8
We have developed a prototype hexagonal light concentrator for the Large-Sized Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array. To maximize the photodetection efficiency of the focal-p…
The Gamma-ray Cherenkov Telescope for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
L. Tibaldo, A. Abchiche, D. Allan +67
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a forthcoming ground-based observatory for very-high-energy gamma rays. CTA will consist of two arrays of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov teles…
A major electronics upgrade for the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescopes 1-4
G. Giavitto, T. Ashton, A. Balzer +31
The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is an array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) located in the Khomas Highland in Namibia. It consists of four 12-m t…
Monte Carlo Performance Studies of Candidate Sites for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
G. Maier, L. Arrabito, K. Bernlöhr +7
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next-generation gamma-ray observatory with sensitivity in the energy range from 20 GeV to beyond 300 TeV. CTA is proposed to consist of t…
