Description
The Stereoscopic Water Cherenkov Detection Array (SWCDA) project is a next generation ground-based array experiment for high energy gamma-ray astronomy observation in the 100GeV-10TeV range. It is an innovative three-dimensional water Cherenkov detection array. Its main scientific objective is to observe blazars, active galactic nuclei (AGN or AGN flare), gamma-ray bursts, etc., in the 100 GeV-10 TeV energy region. Its prototype has been built inside the Tibet ASgamma air-shower array in Tibet at the end of 2024, with an area of 100 m^2, and data taking will start in 2025. This paper will introduce the development and design of the SWCDA and its future application in detail.
