Calibration of the CAT Telescope

Abstract

Due to the lack of test-beams in ground-based gamma-ray astronomy, detector calibration has been a major challenge in this field. However, with the use of Cherenkov ring-images due to cosmic-ray muons and of strong gamma-ray signals, the CAT telescope could be rather well monitored and understood. Here we present a few oustanding aspects of this work.
