Future Directions in Ground-Based Gamma-Ray Astronomy
نویسنده
چکیده
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.
