摘要

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) project aims to build the next generation ground-based Very High Energy gammaray instrument. The array will feature different sizes of telescopes to cover a wide gamma-ray energy band from 20 GeV to 300 TeV. The highest energies, above 5 TeV, will be covered by a large number of Small Size Telescopes (SSTs) with a field-of-view of around 10 degrees. The Gamma-ray Cherenkov Telescope (GCT), based on a Schwarzschild-Couder dualmirror optics is one of the proposed SST designs. The GCT is described in this contribution and the first measurements of Cherenkov light made using the telescope and its camera in November 2015 in Meudon are presented.
