1. Performance of the Cherenkov Telescope ArrayG. Maier, Christopher Eckner, Gašper Kukec Mezek, Samo Stanič, Serguei Vorobiov, Lili Yang, Gabrijela Zaharijas, Danilo Zavrtanik, Marko Zavrtanik, Lukas Zehrer, 2019, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is expected to become the by far largest and most
sensitive observatory for very-high-energy gamma rays in the energy range from 20 GeV to more than 300 TeV. CTA will be capable of detecting gamma rays from extremely faint sources with unprecedented precision on energy and direction. The performance of the future observatory
derived from detailed Monte Carlo simulations is presented in this contribution for the two CTA sites located on the island of La Palma (Spain) and near Paranal (Chile). This includes the evaluation of CTA sensitivity over observations pointing towards different elevations and for operations at higher night-sky background light levels.
Keywords: very-high-energy gamma rays, the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) Observatory, detector performances
