Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System. A ground-based gamma-ray observatory that detects optical flashes in the atmosphere produced by air showers generated by cosmic gamma-rays in the GeV—TeV energy range. VERITAS studies cosmic acceleration mechanisms and exotic objects such as supernovae remnants and active galactic nuclei. It will also search for dark matter in our galaxy. veritas.sao.arizona.edu
A proposed experiment, based in the Arizona desert, that will study gamma rays of slightly higher energy than the GLAST experiment. For more information, see http://veritas.sao.arizona.edu/.
VERITAS (Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System) is a new major ground-based gamma-ray observatory with an array of four 12m optical reflectors for gamma-ray astronomy in the GeV - TeV energy range . The telescope design is based on the design of the existing http://veritas.sao.arizona.edu/component/option,com_gallery2/Itemid,34/?g2_itemId=198 10m gamma-ray telescope of the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory. It consists of an array of imaging telescopes deployed such that they permit the maximum versatility and give the highest sensitivity in the 50 GeV - 50 TeV band (with maximum sensitivity from 100 GeV to 10 TeV).
