    Abstract: The Large-Sized Telescopes (LSTs) with mirror diameters of 23 m are the largest type of telescopes to be used in the future Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory. Four of such telescopes are planned in the Northern (La Palma, Spain) and two in the Southern (Paranal, Chile) sites. The first telescope, LST-1, has been inaugurated in October 2018 in Observatorio Roque de los Muchachos,...

    The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.), a ground-based gamma-ray observatory, has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of high-energy astrophysical phenomena. This presentation will highlight the most recent scientific results obtained using H.E.S.S., focusing on its contributions to the study of cosmic particle accelerators. I will discuss key discoveries, including...

    Regular plenary talk

    The SST-1M telescopes are prototypes of small-size single-mirror Cherenkov telescopes, developed collaboratively by Czech, Polish, and Swiss institutions. Their design is based on the Davies-Cotton concept, featuring a 4-meter mirror and an innovative SiPM-based camera. With a 9.42 m² segmented mirror, a 5.6 m focal length, and a wide 9-degree field of view, the SST-1Ms are optimized for...
