Description
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next generation gamma-ray observatory. It will be open to the entire astronomical and particle physics community as a resource to provide unique observations of the unexplored Universe at very high energies. With its greatly improved sensitivity when compared to the currently running facilities as well as significantly enhanced angular and spectral resolution CTA will bring a significant increase in discovery space, paving the way to new questions, and likely paradigm-changing discoveries. In particular, CTA has an unprecedented sensitivity to short (sub-minute) timescale phenomena, placing it as a key instrument in the future of multi-messenger and multi-wavelength time domain astronomy. In this talk I will present CTA from the design, to the construction, and I will focus on its usage and the observatory policies.
