Speaker
Description
The Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) will be the next-generation ground-based gamma-ray observatory. CTAO is an array of Imaging Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) with sites in the northern and southern hemispheres covering the entire sky. Spanning the energy range from 20 GeV to 300 TeV and offering sensitivity one order of magnitude better than current-generation Imaging Cherenkov telescopes, CTAO will shed light on three main topics: Cosmic particle acceleration, Extreme Astrophysical Environments, and Fundamental Physics Frontiers. This presentation will highlight CTAO's scientific objectives and expected contributions to these fields.
