The MAGIC Telescope - prospects for GRB research.

PETRY D.

Abstract (from CDS):

The Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC) Telescope collaboration is constructing a large Cherenkov telescope (17m diameter) for the exploration of the gamma-ray energy regime above 10GeV with high sensitivity. One of the highlights in the science program of this future observatory are the plans for fast follow-up observations of of GRBs. By ``fast'' we mean delays of less than 30s between notification and the beginning of observations. The expected gamma counting rates are of the order of 100Hz for a EGRET counting rate of 0.1Hz above 100MeV and a spectral index of 2.0 (this would correspond to a fluence of 10–5erg/cm2 for 60s burst duration). The good photon statistics will permit determination of spectra, search for cutoffs and measurement of light-curves with a time resolution of the order of 1s.
