Prototype Tests for the CELESTE Solar Array Gamma--Ray Telescope

Abstract
- The CELESTE experiment will be an Atmospheric Cherenkov detector designed to bridge the gap in energy sensitivity between current satellite and ground-based gamma-ray telescopes, 20 to 300 GeV. We present test results made at the former solar power plant, Themis, in the French Pyrenees. The tests confirm the viability of using a central tower heliostat array for Cherenkov wavefront sampling.<br />Comment: LaTeX2e,30 pages including 14 figures, accepted for publication by Nuclear Instruments & Methods Section A
