Abstract

In this chapter I describe the concept behind the detection of gamma rays through the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov technique. I also describe the IACT arrays on which this thesis focuses: the Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC) telescopes and the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). The hardware and techniques used to analyze the data of MAGIC will be described in detail. I give an overview of the CTA project, together with a brief description of the telescope types involved in the project.
