The Cherenkov Telescope Array releases its updated science case

(Cherenkov Telescope Array) This release of the updated science case for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) details how it will be the major global observatory for very high energy gamma-ray astronomy over the next decade and beyond. The scientific potential of CTA is extremely broad: from understanding the role of relativistic cosmic particles to the search for dark matter. Covering a huge range in photon energy from 20 GeV to 300 TeV, CTA will improve on all aspects of performance with respec
