Status and First Results of the CTA Large-Sized Telescope — •Martin Will for the CTA Consortium — Max-Planck-Institut für Physik, München

The prototype of the Large-Sized Telescope (LST), intended to become part of the Northern site of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) in the Canarian island of La Palma, is currently finishing its commissioning phase and started taking engineering data runs. With its reflective surface of 23 meter diameter, the LSTs are optimized to detect gamma-rays in the energy range between 20 and 200 GeV. In this presentation, some preliminary physics results, the performance of the prototype, and the plans to construct more LSTs as part of CTA will be shown.
