A conceptual design of an advanced 23 m diameter IACT of 50 tons for ground-based gamma-ray astronomy

Abstract

A conceptual design of an advanced Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope with a 23 m diameter mirror and of 50 tons weight will be presented. A system photon detection efficiency of 15-17%, averaged over 300-600 nm, is aimed at to lower the threshold to 10-20 GeV. Prospects for a second generation camera with Geiger-mode Avalanche Photo Diodes will be discussed.
