A conceptual design of an advanced 23 m diameter IACT of 50 tons for ground-based gamma-ray astronomy
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.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, to appear in the proceedings of the 31th
