Major Atmospheric Cerenkov Telescope Experiment (MACE)


In view of the present developments in the field of GeV/TeV astronomy, the Division proposes to set up a 21m diameter imaging telescope at the high altitude (4200m) observatory site at Hanle in the ladakh region of northern India. Operating at an energy threshold of ~ 20 GeV this telescope is expected to detect a large number of sources in the GeV sky.
