Description
The exciting results from H.E.S.S. point to a new population of gamma-ray sources at energies above 10 TeV, paving the way for future studies and new discoveries in this energy range. Connected with these energies is the origin of particle acceleration to PeV energies and the study of multi-TeV gammaray production in agrowing number of astrophysical environments. TenTen is a proposed stereoscopic array (suggested site in Australia) of modest-sized (10 to 20m^2) Cherenkov imaging telescopes with wide field of view (8 to 10 deg diameter) optimised for the E ~10 to 100 TeV range. TenTen will achieve an effective area in excess of 10 km^2 at energies above 10 TeV. We will outline the motivation of TenTen and summarise key performance parameters.
