Future Directions in Ground-Based Gamma-Ray Astronomy
With the recent successes of gamma-ray astronomy an obvious question is raised: where is this field going next? At present we have a network of similar air Cerenkov telescope arrays throughout the world and a large water detector in the USA. Here we try to identify which practical paths exist to newer, more sensitive instruments and what these might hold for the future.
متن کاملStatus and Future of Ground-Based TeV Gamma-Ray Astronomy
This is a report on the findings of the extragalactic science working group for the white paper on the status and future of TeV gamma-ray astronomy. The white paper was commissioned by the American Physical Society, and the full white paper can be found on astro-ph (arXiv:0810.0444). This detailed section discusses extragalactic science topics including active galactic nuclei, cosmic ray accele...
متن کاملGround based gamma-ray astronomy with Cherenkov Telescopes
Very-high-energy (>100 GeV) γ-ray astronomy is emerging as an important discipline in both high energy astrophysics and astro-particle physics. This field is currently dominated by Imaging Atmospheric-Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) and arrays of these telescopes. Such arrays have achieved the best angular resolution and energy flux sensitivity in the γ-ray domain and are still far from the fundam...

متن کاملThe Status and future of ground-based TeV gamma-ray astronomy Reports of Individual Working Groups
Our Galaxy contains astrophysical systems capable of accelerating particles to energies in excess of several tens of TeV, energies beyond the reach of any accelerator built by humans. What drives these accelerators is a major question in astrophysics and understanding these accelerators has broad implications. TeV emission is a key diagnostic of highly energetic particles. Simply put, emission ...
