We have detected Cherenkov light from air showers with Geiger-mode APDs (G-APDs). G-APDs are novel semiconductor photon-detectors which offer several advantages compared to conventional photomultiplier tubes in the field of air shower detection. Folded with the Cherenkov spectrum the response of G-APDs is up to a factor of three higher if compared with classical photomultipliers. Moreover th ... More

GAW is a research and development project to test the feasibility of a new generation of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes suitable for large field observations. GAW is defined as an array of three identical imaging Cherenkov telescopes posed at the vertexes of a quasi-equilateral triangle, 80m side. Each telescope is equipped with a refractive optics consisting of a 2.13m diameter ... More

GAW, acronym for Gamma Air Watch, is a Research and Development experiment in the TeV regime, whose main goal is to explore the feasibility of large field of view Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes. GAW is an array of three relatively Cherenkov telescopes (2.13 m diameter) which differentiate from the existing and presently planned projects for two main features: the adoption of a ... More

The detection of cosmic gamma quanta is very important towards to build an appropriate picture of the Universe. One of the most convenient techniques is the atmospheric Cherenkov technique i.e. the detection of the Cherenkov light in extensive air shower. The Cherenkov telescope Kartalska field for ground based gamma astronomy is presented. The Cherenkov telescope represents set of spherical m ... More

The exciting results from H.E.S.S. point to a new population of gamma-ray sources at energies E above 10 TeV, paving the way for future studies and new discoveries in this energy range. Connected with these energies is the origin of particle acceleration to PeV energies and the study of multi-TeV gamma-ray production in a growing number of astrophysical environments. TenTen is a propose ... More

Ashra (All-sky Survey High Resolution Air-shower detector) is a project to build an unconventional optical telescope complex that images very wide field of view, covering 80% of the sky, yet with the angle pixel resolution of 1.2 arcsin, sensitive to the blue to UV light with the use of image intensifier and CMOS technology. The project primarily aims to observe Cherenkov and fluorescence lig ... More

A new gamma ray observatory comprising a large area imaging Cherenkov telescope and an array of wavefront sampling telescopes is being set up at a high altitude astronomical site, Hanle (32.8 deg N, 78.9 deg E, 4200 m asl) , in the Ladakh region of the Himalayas to detect celestial gamma rays. The high altitude and low night sky background of the site palys an important role in lowering the en ... More
