| dc.description | Very High Energy (VHE) gamma -ray Astronomy observations are planned to be carried out at Pachmarhi in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh using the well known atmospheric Cerenkov technique. An array of 25 Cerenkov telescopes is currently under construction. Using this array it is proposed to sample the Cerenkov light pool at various distances from the shower core in order to estimate the lateral distribution parameters of the shower. In this paper we discuss the scientific motivation of this concept of enriching the gamma -ray signal as compared to the standard imaging technique. The current status of the detector development and the expected results will be presented. | |
