Abstract

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) represents the next generation ground-based observatory for gamma-ray astronomy at very-high energies. It will be capable of detecting gamma rays in the energy range from 20 GeV to more than 300 TeV with unprecedented precision in energy and directional reconstruction. CTA will be located in the northern hemisphere at La Palma, Spain, and in the southern hemisphere at Paranal, Chile, and will comprise more than 100 telescopes of three different types. CTA will be one of the largest astronomical infrastuctures in the world with open data access and it will address questions in astronomy, astrophysics and fundamental physics in the next decades. In this contribution we will present the status of the CTA construction, discuss the telescope prototypes, highlight the scientific perspectives and the instrument performances.
切伦科夫望远镜阵列项目状态
切伦科夫望远镜阵列(CTA)代表了下一代地面天文台的伽玛射线天文学在非常高的能量。它将能够探测能量范围从20 GeV到300 TeV以上的伽马射线,在能量和方向重建方面具有前所未有的精度。CTA将位于北半球的西班牙拉帕尔马和南半球的智利帕拉纳尔,将由三种不同类型的100多架望远镜组成。CTA将成为世界上最大的开放数据访问的天文基础设施之一,它将在未来几十年解决天文学、天体物理学和基础物理学方面的问题。在这篇文章中,我们将介绍CTA的建设现状,讨论望远镜的原型,突出科学的观点和仪器的性能。

期刊介绍: La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento is an international peer-reviewed journal. It publishes monographs in all fields of physics. These monographies aim at presenting the state of the art of topical subjects of relevant interest for the community. Usually, authors are invited and topics suggested by the Deputy Editors-in-Chief, but also spontaneous submissions are examined.
