The Cherenkov Array at Themis (CAT) was an
imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope (IACT) for detection of
very-high-energy gamma ray
A very-high-energy gamma ray (VHEGR) is Gamma ray, gamma radiation with photon energy, photon energies of 100 GeV (gigaelectronvolt) to 100 TeV (teraelectronvolt), i.e., 1011 to 1014 electronvolts. This is approximately equal to
wavelengths betwe ...
s (~200
GeV to a few tens of TeV). The project started operation in Autumn 1996 on the site of the former solar plant
Thémis, France.
