Issue Date: | 2022 | Volume: | Ground-based and Airborne Telescopes IX | Editors: | Marshall, Heather K.; Spyromilio, Jason; Usuda, Tomonori | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Number: | 12182 | First Page: | 121820K | Abstract: | The Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) consists of three types of telescopes: large-sized (LST), mediumsized (MST), and small-sized (SST), distributed in two observing sites (North and South). For the CTA South "Alpha Configuration" the construction and installation of 37 (+5) SST telescopes (a number that could increase up to 70 in future upgrades) are planned. The SSTs are developed by an international consortium of institutes that will provide them as an in-kind contribution to CTAO. The SSTs rely on a Schwarzschild-Couder-like dual-mirror polynomial optical design, with a primary mirror of 4 m diameter, and are equipped with a focal plane camera based on SiPM detectors covering a field of view of ~9°. The current SST concept was validated by developing the prototype dual-mirror ASTRI-Horn Cherenkov telescope and the CHEC-S SiPM focal plane camera. In this contribution, we will present an overview of the SST key technologies, the current status of the SST project, and the planned schedule. | Conference Name: | Ground-based and Airborne Telescopes IX | Conference Place: | Montréal, Québec, Canada | Conference Date: | 17-23 July, 2022 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/36937 | URL: | https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/12182/2627956/The-small-sized-telescope-of-CTAO/10.1117/12.2627956.short https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85140058100 |
