The Cherenkov Array at Themis (CAT) was an
imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope
IACT stands for Imaging Atmospheric (or Air) Cherenkov Telescope or Technique. It is a device or method to detect very-high-energy gamma ray photons in the photon energy range of 50 GeV to 50 TeV.
There are four operating IACT system ...
(IACT) for detection of
very-high-energy gamma rays (~200
GeV to a few tens of TeV). The project started operation in Autumn 1996 on the site of the former solar plant
Thémis, France.
