First optical validation of a Schwarzschild Couder telescope: the ASTRI SST-2M Cherenkov telescope
Original language description
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) represents the most advanced facility designed for Cherenkov Astronomy. ASTRI SST-2M has been developed as a demonstrator for the Small Size Telescope in the context of the upcoming CTA. Its main innovation consists in the optical layout which implements the Schwarzschild-Couder configuration and is fully validated for the first time. The ASTRI SST-2M optical system represents the first qualified example of a two-mirror telescope for Cherenkov Astronomy. This configuration permits us to (i) maintain high optical quality across a large field of view, (ii) demagnify the plate scale, and (iii) exploit new technological solutions for focal plane sensors.n
