Project description

• Development of methods and software for calibration (mirror alignment, telescope pointing) for the 12 m telescopes (MSTs, medium-sized telescopes).
• Further development of a software (ctools) for combined analysis of CTA data and data from observations at other wavelengths.
• Practical test of software technologies which improve the efficiency of data acquisition with Cherenkov telescopes by automatic error recognition and correction.
