摘要:

切伦科夫望远镜阵列(Cherenkov Telescope Array,CTA)是一个国际性的下一代地面伽马射线观测站。CTA将作为南半球和北半球数十个小型、中型和大型成像切伦科夫望远镜阵列实施,目标是将当前一代实验的灵敏度提高一个数量级。CTA将提供从~20 GeV到超过300 TeV的能量覆盖。Schwarzschild-Couder(SC)中型(9.5米)望远镜将采用一种新型的消球差双镜光学设计,与传统的Davies-Cotton光学设计相比,能够适应宽视场,角分辨率显著提高。一个全尺寸的SC中型望远镜原型结构已经设计好,将于2015年秋季在亚利桑那州南部的弗雷德·劳伦斯·惠普尔天文台建造。专注于设计的新颖性。

英文摘要:

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is an international next-generation ground-based gamma-ray observatory. CTA will be implemented as southern and northern hemisphere arrays of tens of small, medium and large-sized imaging Cherenkov telescopes with the goal of improving the sensitivity over the current-generation experiments by an order of magnitude. CTA will provide energy coverage from ~20 GeV to more than 300 TeV. The Schwarzschild-Couder (SC) medium size (9.5m) telescopes will feature a novel aplanatic two-mirror optical design capable of accommodating a wide field-of-view with significantly improved angular resolution as compared to the traditional Davies-Cotton optical design. A full-scale prototype SC medium size telescope structure has been designed and will be constructed at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory in southern Arizona during the fall of 2015. concentrate on the novel features of the design.
