Performance Limits for Cherenkov Instruments

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

The performance of Cherenkov instruments for the detection of very high energy gamma rays is ultimately limited by the fluctuations in the development of air showers. With particular emphasis on the angular resolution, the ultimate performance limits are investigated on the basis of simulations.
