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

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

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

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

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

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

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
