Flux sensitivity of a mono MST telescope — •Thomas Jung — Tu Dortmund, Dortmund, Deutschland

The ground-based gamma-ray astronomy have a huge potential in astrophysics and cosmology. The Cherenkov telescope array (CTA) is covering the Energy from 100MeV to 100TeV.

To compare CTA with other telescopes the flux sensitivity is very important. Therefor we calculate the sensitivity of a mono MST telescope in the Energy range of 3GeV to 350TeV to check the sensitivity improvement. This talk will give an introduction how to calculate the flux sensitivity for CTA telescopes.
