Description
Very high energy gamma-rays induce an air-shower in our atmosphere. These particles, traveling faster than light in the medium, emit Cherenkov light. Using Cherenkov telescopes, this radiation can be measured and properties such as energy or direction from the primary gamma-ray can be deducted. A proposed camera for such a telescope is FlashCam. In this talk, FlashCam and the tests we want to do will be shortly introduced, as well as a proposed search for GRB's using CT5 (HESS) in which a prototype of FlashCam is embedded.
