CTAC

The global group of institutes and scientists contributing to the CTAO

»CTAC is a global effort with more than 1,500 scientists and engineers from about 150 institutes in 25 countries involved in the CTAO's science goals.«

CTAC

The Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium (CTAC) includes 1,500 members from more than 150 institutes in 25 countries. The scientists and engineers of the CTAC devised the CTAO concept more than a decade ago and have been the driving force behind its design. The CTAC has developed and detailed CTAO’s key science goals (see “Science with the Cherenkov Telescope Array“) and will be responsible for the science analysis and publication of scientific results of the Key Science Projects, ensuring that the CTAO produces legacy data sets and data products for use by the entire community.

 

The CTAC Speakers and Publications Office (SAPO) is responsible for reviewing all CTAC publications and contributions to conferences (i.e. abstracts, talks and proceedings). Learn more about CTAC publications in the Library.
