The gamma/hadron separation in the imaging air Cherenkov telescope technique is based on differences between images of a hadronic shower and a gamma induced electromagnetic cascade. One may expect for a large telescope that a detection of…
It is generally assumed that fluorescence radiation does not play a significant role in the performance of Cherenkov telescopes. However, this assumption is required to be verified using detailed Monte Carlo simulations. In order to do…
Atmospheric \v{C}erenkov Technique is an established methodology to study $TeV$ energy gamma rays. However the challenging problem has always been the poor signal to noise ratio due to the presence of abundant cosmic rays. Several ingenious…
