Collaborations
H.E.S.S. Collaboration
The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is an array of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes located in Namibia, investigating cosmic gamma rays in the energy range from tens of GeV to tens of TeV.
LST Collaboration (CTAO)
The Large-Sized Telescope (LST) is a key component of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO), located in La Palma, Spain, designed to detect the lowest energy gamma rays.
Note: My participation in the LST Collaboration is through Ruhr-Universität Bochum.
