The HESS, MAGIC and VERITAS experiments are now fully operational
and are detecting and discovering a large number of high-energy gamma-ray
sources. This is a good time to work on the design of the next generation of IACT
experiments.
We estimate the limiting angular resolution and detection area for an
array of 3 large-aperture IACTs. We consider an idealized IACT system in order to
understand the limitations imposed by the intrinsic nature of the atmospheric showers
for such a configuration. The idealization includes the assumptions of a perfect
optical system, the absence of the night sky background and a wide field
of view.
The showers are simulated using the ALTAI code. A number of values of altitude and
magnetic field intensity are tested corresponding to possible future sites for a new
northern-hemisphere array. The optimal design depends on the target
energy range; for each energy we tune both the cell length and the image processing
in order to maximize the signal-to-noise-ratio and present the resulting values of
the detection area and the angular resolution. We discuss the dependence of these
quantities on the mirror size and the field of view of the telescopes.
