Description
The Large Array Telescope for Tracking Energetic Sources ( LATTES ) is a
novel hybrid detector concept for the measurement of Extensive Air Showers (EAS) generated by Very High Energy Gamma rays. The aim of the detector is to have a good sensitivity at low energies (~100 GeV) extending into the TeV region, operating day and night with a wide field of view.
The experiment is planned to be installed in South America at high altitude (~5.000m), such that it will be complementary to the Cherenkov detectors which are planned to be installed at that part of the world. LATTES will be a powerful tool to trigger further observations of variable sources and to detect transients phenomena.
