Development of wide-field stereoscopic water Cherenkov detector for 100GeV - 100 TeV energy range at high altitude
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The Stereoscopic Water Cherenkov Detection Array (SWCDA) project is a next-generation ground-based array experiment for high-energy gamma-ray astronomy observation in the 100 GeV - 100 TeV range. It is an innovative three-dimensional water Cherenkov detection array. Its main scientific objective is to observe blazars, active galactic nuclei (AGNs or AGN flares), gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), Galactic microquasars, etc., in the 100 GeV - 100 TeV energy region. Its prototype has been built inside the Tibet AS𝛾 air-shower array in Tibet at the end of 2024, with an area of 100 m2, and data taking starts in 2025. This paper will introduce the development and design of the SWCDA, as well as its future applications.
