MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE MAGIC COLLABORATIONMemorandum of Understanding • February 13th, 2007
Contract Type FiledFebruary 13th, 2007The members of the Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Collaboration (abbreviated MAGIC) are working towards the goal of obtaining physics results from the running of the MAGIC telescopic installation, a set of large-diameter Cherenkov telescopes on the Canary Island La Palma. The overall objective is very high energy ground-based gamma- ray astronomy and astroparticle physics at the lowest possible energy threshold. At the moment of writing this Memorandum of Understanding, the MAGIC collaboration is already operating the first 17 meter diameter Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope (IACT), and has started the construction of a second telescope, MAGIC-II, with a similar structure but using improved technologies in some of its elements.
