Cernkov imaging telescope for very high energy gamma-ray astronomy: The present 3.8 m telescope of CANGAROO and a plan of 10 m telescope

Abstract

The following topics were discussed: the calibration, operational conditions and construction plan of gamma ray telescopes, high energy gamma ray astronomy, the calibration using background photons of the night sky and a bright star, the estimation of the discrimination level in the electronics circuit, and estimation of the sensitivity of a 10m telescope from the known characteristics of the 3.8m telescope of CANGAROO collaboration.
