Korea-Tübingen PhD Program: Project 14/2024:
PhD Project Title: Experimental development for CTA and observational analysis of TeV celestial source.

Topic Description: The last ten years have been characterized by the unveiling of the Universe at very High Energies (VHE) thanks to the observations of the HESS, MAGIC, VERITAS and LHAASO observatories. Currently the new large observatories at VHE the Cherenkov Telescope Array is being developed and has finally entered the construction phase in both the southern and the northern hemisphere. The High Energy astrophysics section of the Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics is actively involved in VHE astronomy, both in the observational analysis of extreme sources and in developing hardware for the CTA observatory. The successful candidate will be involved in the observational analysis of Supernova Remnants and Gamma binaries emitting at VHE using a multi-wavelength approach. In addition the candidate will work on the development of the PMT based focal plane cameras for the Medium Size Telescope array of CTA, that has entered the construction phase in the two sites in Chile and La Palma. In the context of the study we expect to establish a collaboration with the LHAASO telescope which is revolutionising the view of the Universe at the even higher energies.
