| Abstract | Cosmic particle accelerators are studied through the detection of photons coming from very-high-energy gamma rays. Examples of such accelerators include black holes, neutron stars and supernova explosion remnants. This project will develop and procure 10 cameras. The cameras will be installed on the Small-Sized Telescopes (SST) at the CTAO Southern Array located in Paranal, Chile. The cameras will increase the sensitivity of the CTAO that will become the most sensitive observatory for very-high- |
