Description
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) project aims to implement the
world's largest next generation of Very High Energy gamma-ray Imaging
Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes devoted to the observation from a few
tens of GeV to more than 100 TeV. To view the whole sky, two CTA sites
are foreseen, one for each hemisphere. The sensitivity at the lowest
energy range will be dominated by four Large Size Telescopes, LSTs,
located at the center of each array and designed to achieve observations
of high red-shift objects with the threshold energy of 20 GeV. The LST
is optimized also for transient low energy sources, such as Gamma Ray
Bursts (GRB), which require fast repositioning of the telescope. The
overall design and the development status of the first LST telescope
will be discussed.
