Very high energy gamma ray astronomy at White Cliffs Solar Power Station.
Abstract
Three mirrors of the White Cliffs Solar Power Station are currently being used for very high energy γ-ray Astronomy while the University of Adelaide very high energy γ-ray telescope is being designed. Use is made of fast-timing to obtain γ-ray arrival directions to an accuracy approaching 1°. The experimental arrangement and operation of the telescope is described and the current observing program is outlined.
