| Abstract: | Using Monte Carlo simulations the possibilities are investigated for registration of VHE gamma radiation by means of systems of imaging air Cherenkov telescopes (IACT). It is shown that even a system of IACT's with moderate properties (three telescopes with the geometrical area of the optical reflector 5 m
2and the angular size of the pixel0.41
0
) could provide the energy resolution 20–25% and achieve the sensitivity (minimum detectable flux) up to 10-12
photon/cm
2s at the effective energy threshold 1 TeV. |
