Beantragt \citeauthor{Chandrasekhar:1931} wird die F"orderung eines
Luft-Cherenkov-Teleskops f"ur Langzeitbeobachtungen von Gamma-Quellen
im Energiebereich zwischen 500 GeV und 50 TeV (DWARF=Dedicated
multiWavelength Astroparticle Research Facility). Mit DWARF sollen zwei
Aufgaben bei der Beobachtung erf"ullt werden: 1. weitgehend
automatisierte Langzeitbeobachtungen von bekannten hochenergetischen
Quellen. Solche Beobachtungen stehen nicht auf dem Programm der im
Betrieb befindlichen Generation von Cherenkov-Teleskopen 2.
Multiwavelenght-Kampangen mit Photon-Detektoren in unterschiedlichen
Energiebreichen, insbesondere auch mit dem Neutrino-Teleskop IceCube.
F"ur den Aufbau von DWARF soll die bestehende Infrastruktur auf dem
Roque de los Muchachos auf der kanarischen Insel La Palma genutzt
werden.  Dort befindet sich der zur Zeit ungenutzte Mount des
ehemaligen ``HEGRA-Cherenkov-Teleskops 3'' sowie eine zur Plazierung
der Elektronik geeignete H"utte samt elektrischer Versorgung bei dem
Teleskop. Zur Minimierung von Peronalkosten soll das Teleskop nach der
Aufbauphase weitestgehend robotisch "uber das Internet / einen Link
"uber den ESA-Satelltien XYZ betrieben werden. Die mit DWARF
vorgenommenen Messungen dienen der Kl"arung der Frage nach der
zeitlichen Variabilit"at der Gamma-Emissionen von Aktiven Galaxien und
den zugrundeliegenden Beschelunigungsmechanismen der kosmsichen
Strahlung.\\

\loi\\
\textbf{Abstract:} We propose to set up a Cherenkov telescope with
low-cost but high performance design for robotic operation. The goal is
to achieve long-term monitoring of bright blazars which will unravel
the origin and nature of their variability. The telescope design is
based on a technological upgrade of one of the former telescopes of the
HEGRA collaboration on the Canarian Island La Palma (Spain). \\

\textbf{Introduction:} Since the termination of the HEGRA observations,
the succeeding experiments MAGIC and H.E.S.S.\ have impressively extended
the physical scope of gamma ray observations by detecting tens of
formerly unknown gamma ray sources and analyzing their energy spectra
and temporal behavior. This became possible by lowering the energy
threshold from 700 GeV to less than 100 GeV and increasing at the same
time the sensitivity by a factor of five.\\ To fully exploit the
discovery potential of the improved sensitivity, the discovery of new,
faint objects has become the major task for the new telescopes. A
diversity of astrophysical source types such as pulsar wind nebulae,
supernova remnants, microquasars, pulsars, radio galaxies, clusters of
galaxies, gamma ray bursts, and blazers can be studied with these
telescopes and limits their availability for monitoring purposes of
well-known bright sources.\\ There are strong reasons to make an effort
for the continuous monitoring of the few exceptionally bright blazars.
This can be achieved by operating a dedicated monitoring telescope of
the HEGRA-type, referred to in the following as DWARF (Dedicated
multiWavelength Agn Research Facility). The reasons are outlined in
detail below.

\subsection{Stand der Forschung/State of the art}

\subsubsection{High energy gamma and neutrino sources}

%============================================================
%Der TeV-Photon-Astronomie ist es in den letzten Jahrzehnten gelungen, {\bf 14}
%extragalaktische und {\bf ???} galaktische Objekte am Himmel zu
%identifizieren. Hinzu kommt die Detektion von zwei diffusen Regionen in der
%Galaxie, die von H.E.S.S. {\bf ZITAT!} und Milagro {\bf ZITAT!!!} gesehen
%wurden. Die erste Quelle wurde im Jahr {\bf 19??} von {\bf HEGRA ???}
%beobachtet. Im Vergleich zu R\"ontgen-Messungen, die den Himmel nach Quellen
%abscannen k\"onnen und dementsprechend mehr als {\bf 1000 ???} Quellen
%katalogisiert haben {\bf ZITAT KATALOG XMM Newton/Chandra}, scheint diese
%Anzahl jedoch sehr niedrig. Ein Grund ist das kleine Sichtfeld, was
%Luft-Cherenkov Teleskope besitzen, ein weiterer, dass das TeV-Photon Signal weit entfernter Quellen
%($z>0.2$) vom extragalaktischen Hintegrundlicht absorbiert wird.  
%Aufgrund der geringen Statistik an Quellen ist es zu diesem Zeitpunkt ist es notwendig, dass sich hochsensitive Instrumente
%prim"ar auf die Untersuchung neuer Objekte am TeV-Photon-Himmel konzentrieren
%und nicht auf die quantitative, permanente Beobachtung von schon bekannten
%Quellen. Selbst wenn eine Quelle "uber einen l"angeren Zeitraum beobachtet
%wurde, handelt es sich hier um einen Zeitraum von {\bf $<3$~Monaten ????}. In
%dieser Zeit fallen jedoch sowohl Schlechtwetter-Perioden wie auch Phasen mit
%starker Mond-Einstrahlung weg. Au{\ss}erdem muss beachtet werden, dass die
%Quelle nur eine geringe Anzahl an Stunden sichtbar am Himmel ist.  

The TeV photon astronomy succeeded in discovering {\bf 14}
extragalactic and {\bf ???} galactic objects at the sky during the past
decades. Additionally there are two diffuse regions within our galaxy
which have been detected by H.E.S.S.\ref{Aharonian:2006} and Milagro {\bf
ZITAT!!!} {\it Neues Millagro Papier mit 4+ Quellregionen: "TeV
Gamma-Ray Sources from a Survey of the Galactic  Plane with Milagro"
Arxiv-Nr.: 0705.0707} The first source was discovered in the year
19{\bf??} by the {\bf HEGRA} collaboration {\it (War das nicht wer
anders, die zu allererst den Crab sahen?...ZITAT?)}. In comparison to
x-ray measurments, which are able to scan the entire sky for sources
and thus have  cataloged more than {\bf 1000 ???} sources, this number
appears to be quite small. One reason for this is the small field of
view of imaging air cherenkov telesopes (IACTs), another reason the
absorption of the TeV photon signal of distant ($z>0.2$) sources due to
extragalactic background light (EBL). Due to this small statistic at
the moment it is of particular importance that instruments with high
sensitivity concentrate on the analysis of new objects in the TeV sky
and not on the quantitative, permanent observation of already known
sources. Even when a source was observed over a longer period of time
this does mean {\bf  less than three month ???? {\it Viel l"anger sind
die Quellen am St"uck doch gar nicht sichtbar, oder? Sinnvoller w"are es
wom"oglich die wenigen Beobachtungsstunden in diesen X Monaten
hervorzuheben.}} But one has to take into account that during this time
also periods of bad weather and times with strong moon light can
significantly reduce  observation time. Furthermore on has to consider
that the sources are visible in the sky for few hours only. {\it Kann
man das wirklich so sagen?}

%Bei den bisher beobachteten galaktischen Objekten handelt es sich um
%Mikroquasare und Supernova \"Uberreste, die identifizierten extragalaktischen
%Objekte sind Aktive Galaxien (AGN). Die Objekte sind in Tabelle~\ref{tev_objects}
%aufgelistet {\bf TESHIMAS VORTRAG IN MADISON}. Bei den AGN handelt es sich um
%13 BLLacs und um eine FR-I Galaxie, M87. 

The so far observed galactic objects are microqasars and supernova
remnands (SNR). The identified extragalactic sources are active
galactic nuclei (AGN). The objects are listed in table~\ref{dummy} {\bf
TESHIMAS VORTRAG IN MADISON}. The AGN are 13 BLLacs and one FR-I
galaxy, M87. So High-peaked BL Lacertae objects are the prime source
population for studies with Cherenkov telescopes.  It is obvious that
monitoring observations of strong blazars are orthogonal to the mission
of the larger Cherenkov telescopes with their discovery potential for
new sources (luminosity function, redshift distribution).

\begin{table}[c]
\label{dummy}
\end{table}

%Im Falle von hadronischer Teilchenbeschleunigung in den TeV Quellen, kann das
%TeV Signal von $\pi^0$-Zerf"allen herr"uhren. Die neutralen Pionen kommen
%von Delta-Resonanz Zerf"allen, die durch Proton-Photon Wechselwirkungen
%entstehen. Ein weiterer Kanal im Zerfall der Delta-Resonanz f"uhrt zur
%Produktion von geladenen Pionen und damit zur Produktion von Neutrinos in
%koinzidenz mit TeV Photonen. Daher sind TeV Quellen auch immer interessant
%f"ur Hochenergie-Neutrinoteleskope.

In case of hadronic particle acceleration within the TeV emitters, the
TeV signal may arise from $\pi^0$-decays. These neutral pions are decay
products of of delta resonances, which are formed in proton-photon
interactions. Anther decay channel of the delta resonance leads to the
production of charged pions and thus to neutrino production, coincident
with the TeV photons mentioned before. Therefrom TeV sources are always
interesting objects for investigations with high energy neutrino
telescopes.

\textbf{The science case:} The variability of blazars, seen across the
entire electromagnetic spectrum, arises from the dynamics of
relativistic jets and the particle acceleration going on in them. The
jets are launched from the vicinity of accreting supermassive black
holes, and theoretical models predict variability arising from the
interplay between jet expansion, particle injection, acceleration and
cooling.\\

Long-term monitor observations of bright blazars are the key to obtain
a solid data base for variability investigations.

\section{Ziele und Arbeitsprogramm\\Goals and work schedule}

\subsection{Ziele/Goals}

%Der vorliegende Antrag zielt darauf, das ehemalige CT3 der
%HEGRA-Kollaboration auf dem Roque de los Muchachos mit verg"o"serter
%Speiegelfl"ache und neuer Kamera und Datennahme unter dem Namen DWARF
%wieder in Betrieb zu nehmen. Die Sensitivit"at dieses neuen Instrumentes
%wird damit im Energiebereich oberhalb von 500 GeV etwa der des ebenfalls
%stillgelegten Whipple-Teleskopes entsprechen.

The present application aims at putting the former CT3 of the HEGRA
collaboration on the Roque de los Muchachos back into operation - with
an enlarged mirror surface and a new camera and data taking, under the
name of DWARF. The sensitivity above  500\,GeV of this new instrument
will thus correspond with the one of the also disused  Whipple
telescope.

%Der Aufbau des Teleskopes soll in dem Sinn modular erfolgen, dass Komponenten
%zuk"unftiger Teleskope (Spiegel, Kamera, DAQ) ggf. an diesem Aufbau getestet
%und optimiert werden k"onnen.

\noindent The layout of the telescope shall be carried out modular in
such a sense that components of future telescopes (mirror, camera, DAQ)
can be tested and optimized at this bodywork.

%Wissenschaftlich sollen folgende Punkte realisiert werden:
\noindent Scientifically the following aims shall be realized:

\begin{itemize}
%\item[(1)] Langzeitbeobachtungen zeitlicher Variationen von TeV-Gamma-Ray-Quellen.\\
\item[(1)] Long-term observations of temporal variations of TeV gamma
ray sources.\\
An understanding of this variability will deepen our knowledge about
  \begin{itemize}
  \item the composition and generation of the jets, intimately connected
to the physics of the ergosphere of rapidly spinning black holes
embedded into the hot plasma from the accretion flow.
  \item the plasma physics responsible for highly efficient particle
acceleration, bearing similarities to plasma physics of the interaction
between extremely intense laser beams and matter.
  \item the orbital modulation of jets due to binary black holes
expected from galaxy merger models.\\ the search for signatures of
binary black hole systems from orbital modulation of VHE gamma ray
emission 
  \end{itemize} 
Long-term monitor observations of bright blazars are the key to obtain
a solid data base for variability investigations. Assuming
conservatively the performance of a single HEGRA-type telescope,
long-term monitoring of at least the following blazars is possible:
Mrk421, Mrk501, 1ES 2344+514, 1ES 1959+650, H 1426+428, PKS 2155-304.
We emphasize that DWARF will run as a facility dedicated to these
targets only, providing a maximum observation time for the program.
\textbf{\textit{oder ist dieser Abschnitt doch besser in 3.2.
aufgehoben?!}} 
\item[(2)] Coincident observations with gamma telescopes in different
energy ranges:\\ Flux variations will be determined and compared with
variability properties in other wavelength ranges. 
\item[(3)] Coincident observations with the neutrino telescope
IceCube:\\ Hadronic emission processes and possible coincidences
between VHE-gamma and neutrino-emission will be studied. 
\item [(5)] Furthermore, we seek to obtain know-how for the operation
of future networks of Cherenkov telescopes (e.g. a monitoring array
around the globe or CTA) or telescopes at inaccessible sites. 
\end {itemize}

\subsection{Arbeitsprogramm/Work schedule}\anmerk{3.2 soll etwa die
H"alfte des Antrages ausmachen}

\loi\\

At least one of the proposed targets will be visible any time of the
year (see plot/appendix). For calibration purposes, some time will be
scheduled for observations of the Crab nebula, which is the brightest
known VHE emitter with constant flux.\\

In detail the following investigations are planned:
\begin{itemize}
\item As direct result of the measurements, the duty cycle, the
baseline emission, and the power spectrum of flux variations will be
determined and compared with variability properties in other wavelength
ranges.
\item The lightcurves will be interpreted using models for the
nonthermal emission from relativistically expanding plasma jets. In
particular models currently developed in the context of the Research
Training Group "Theoretical Astrophysics" in W"urzburg
(Graduiertenkolleg, GK1147) shall be used. Particle acceleration is
studied with hybrid MHD and particle-in-cell methods.
\item The black hole mass and accretion rate will be determined from
the emission models. Estimates of the black hole mass from emission
models, a possible orbital modulation, and the Magorrian relation
(relating the black hole mass with the stellar bulge mass of the host
galaxy) will be compared.
\item When flaring states will be discovered during the monitor
program, MAGIC will issue a Target of Opportunity observation to obtain
better time resolution (Letters of support?). Corresponding
Target-of-Opportunity (ToO) proposals to H.E.S.S.\ and Veritas are in
preparation.
\item Correlating the arrival times of neutrinos detected by the
neutrino telescope IceCube with simultaneous measurements of DWARF will
allow to test the hypothesis that flares in blazar jets are connected
to hadronic emission processes and thus to neutrino emission from these
sources. The investigation proposed here is complete for both, neutrino
and gamma observations, and can therefore lead to conclusive results.
\item The diffusive fluxes of escaping UHE cosmic rays obtained from
AUGER or flux limits of neutrinos from IceCube, respectively, will be
used to constrain models of UHE cosmic ray origin and large-scale
magnetic fields.
\item Multi-frequency observations together with the Mets"ahovi Radio
Observatory and the optical Tuorla Observatory are planned (Letters of
support appendix). The measurements will be correlated with INTEGRAL
and GLAST results, when available. X-ray monitoring using the SWIFT and
Suzaku facilities will be proposed.
\item The most ambitious scientific goal of this proposal is the search
for signatures of binary black hole systems from orbital modulation of
VHE gamma ray emission. In case of a confirmation of the present hints
in the temporal behaviour of Mrk501, gravitational wave templates could
be computed with high accuracy to establish their discovery with LISA
(PhD project at W"urzburg funded by the German LISA consortium).
\end{itemize}

\textbf{The technical setup:} At the Observatorio de los Muchachos
(ORM), at the MAGIC site, the mount of the former HEGRA telescope CT3
now owned by the MAGIC collaboration is still operational. One hut for
electronics close to the telescope is available. Additional space is
available in the MAGIC counting house.  The MAGIC Memorandum of
Understanding allows for operating it as an auxiliary instrument, and
basic support from the shift crew of MAGIC is guaranteed, although
robotic operation is the primary goal. Robotic operation is necessary
to reduce costs and man power demands. Furthermore, we seek to obtain
know-how for the operation of future networks of Cherenkov telescopes
(e.g. a monitoring array around the globe or CTA) or telescopes at
inaccessible sites. From the experience with the construction and
operation of MAGIC or HEGRA, respectively, the proposing groups
consider the planned focused approach (small number of experienced
scientists) as optimal for achieving the project goals. The available
automatic analysis package developed by the W"urzburg group for MAGIC
is modular and flexible, and can thus be used with minor changes for
the DWARF project. Therefore construction, commissioning and operation
of a small scale Cherenkov telescope are best suitable for education
and training of students by experienced scientists. 

To complete the mount to a functional Cherenkov telescope within a
period of one year, the following steps are necessary:

Camera:
For long-term observations stability of the camera is a major
criterion. To keep the systematic errors small good background
estimation is mandatory. The only possibility for a synchronous
determination of the background is the determination from the night-sky
observed in the same field-of-view with the same instrument. To achieve
this the observed position is moved out of the camera center which
allows the estimation of the background from positions symmetric with
respect to the camera center (so called wobble-mode). This observation
mode increases the sensitivity by a factor of two because spending
observation for dedicated background observations becomes obsolete,
which also ensures a better time coverage of the observed sources.
Having a camera large enough allowing more than one independent
position for background estimation increases sensitivity further by
better background statistics. This is the case if the source can be
shifted 0.6deg-0.7deg out of the camera center. A camera completely
containing shower images of events in the energy region of 1TeV-10TeV
should have a diameter in the order of 5 deg. To decrease the
dependence of the background measurement on the camera geometry, a
camera layout as symmetric as possible will be chosen. Consequently a
camera allowing for wobble-mode observations should be round and have a
diameter of 4.5deg-5.0deg.

To achieve this requirements a 313 Pixel camera (see figure
\ref{camDWARF}) will been build based on the experience with HEGRA and
MAGIC. 19 mm diameter Photomultiplier Tubes (PM, EMI 4035) will be
bought, similar to the HEGRA type (EMI\,9083\,KFLA). With a 20$\%$
improved quantum efficiency they ensure a granularity which is enough
to guarantee good results even below the energy threshold (flux peak
energy). Each individual pixel has to be equipped with a preamplifier,
an active high-voltage supply and control. The total expense for a
single pixel will be in the order of 600 EURO.

If development of G-APDs (QE$\ge$50$\%$) will be fast enough,
respectively the price low enough, and their long term stability is
proven well in time, their usage will be considered.

For a transition time one of the old HEGRA cameras might be borrowed
(see figure \ref{camCT3}). With a special coating (wavelength shifter)
its quantum efficiency might be improved by ~8$\%$\ref{Paneque:2004}.

Camera support:
The camera chassis must be water tight. An automatic lid protecting the
PMs at day-time will be installed. For further protection a plexi-glass
window will be installed in the front of the camera. By over-coating
the window with an anti-reflex layer of magnesium-fluoride a gain in
transmission of 5$\%$ is expected. Each PM will be equipped with a
light-guide (Winston Cone) as developed by UC Davis and successfully in
operation in the MAGIC camera. (3000 EURO). The current design will be
improved by using a high reflectivity aluminized Mylar mirror-foil,
overcoated with a dialectical layer (SiO2 alternated with Niobium
Oxide), to reach a reflectivity in the order of 98$\%$. In total this
will gain ~15$\%$ in light-collection efficiency compared to the old
CT3 system.

For this setup the camera holding has to be redesigned. (1500EURO?)

An electric and optical shielding of the individual PMs is planned.

The mechanical work is done at Universit"at Dortmund.

Data acquisition:
For the data acquisition system a hardware readout based on an analog
ring buffer (Domino II/III), currently developed for the MAGIC II
readout, will be used. This technology allows sampling the pulses with
high frequencies and allows to readout several channels with a single
Flash-ADC resulting in low-costs. The low power consumption will allow
including the digitization near the signal source which makes an analog
signal transfer obsolete. The advantage is less pick-up noise and less
signal dispersion. By high sampling rates (0.5\,GHz-1.2\,GHz) additional
information about the pulse shape can be obtained. This increasing the
over-all sensitivity further, because the short integration time allows
for almost perfect suppression of noise due to night-sky background
photons. The estimated trigger- (readout-) rate of the telescope is
below 100\,Hz (HEGRA: $<$10\,Hz) which allows to use a low-cost industrial
solution for readout of the system like USB\,2.0. (30.000-45.000:
95-145/channel). 

As for the HEGRA telescopes a simple multiplicity trigger is enough,
but also a simple three-next-neighbors (closed package) could be
programmed. ($<$30.000: $<$100/channel).

To guarantee a homogenous trigger setup over the whole camera the
individual pixel rates, dominated by night-sky noise, will be monitored
and kept constant.

Additional data reduction and preprocessing in the readout hardware or
the readout computer is provided. Assuming conservatively storage of
raw-data at a readout rate of 30\,Hz the storage space needed is less
than 250\,GB/month or 3\,TB/year. This amount of data can easily be stored
and processed by the W"urzburg Datacenter (current online capacity
$>$20\,TB, offline capacity $>$30\,TB, $>$16\,CPUs). To archive the data
safely 25 tapes (LTO3 with 400\,GB each, $\sim$1000\,EURO) and a SATA
disk-array ($\sim$4000EURO) will be bought.

On-site computing:
For on-site computing less than three standard PCs are needed
($\sim$8.000EURO). This includes readout and storage, preprocessing,
and telescope control. For safety reasons a firewall is mandatory. For
local storage and backup two RAID\,5 SATA disk arrays with less than one
Terabyte capacity each will fulfill the requirement ($\sim$4.000EURO).
The data will be transmitted as soon as possible after data taking via
Internet to the W"urzburg Datacenter.

Monte Carlo production and storage will take place at Universit"at
Dortmund

For the absolute time necessary for an accurate source tracking a GPS
clock will be bought.

Mount and Drive: 
The present mount is used. Only a smaller investment for safety,
corrosion protection, cable ducts, etc. is needed (7.500). 

For movement motors, shaft encoders and control electronics in the
order of 10.000 EURO have to be bought. The drive system should allow
for relatively fast repositioning for three reasons: 1) Fast movement
might be mandatory for future ToO observations. 2) Wobble-mode
observations will be done changing the wobble-position continuously
(each 20\,min) for symmetry reasons. 3) To ensure good time coverage  of
more than one source visible at the same the observed source will be
changed in constant time intervals ($\sim$20\,min). Therefore three 150
Watt servo motors are intended. A microcontroller based motion control
unit (SPS) similar to the one of the current MAGIC II drive system will
be used. For communication with the readout-system a standard Ethernet
connection based on the TCP/IP- and UDP-protocol is applied.

Security:
An uninterruptible power-supply unit (UPS) with 5-10\,kW will be
installed to protect the equipment against power cuts and ensure a safe
telescope position at the time of sun-rise. ($<$2000EURO)

Mirrors:
The existing mirrors are replaced by new plastic mirrors which are
currently developed by the group of Wolfgang Dr"oge. The cheap and
light-weight material has been formerly used for Winston cones flown in
balloon experiments. The mirrors are copied from a master, coated with
a reflecting and a protective material. Previous tests have given
promising results. By a change of the mirror geometry the mirror area
can be increased from 8.5\,m$^2$ to 13\,m$^2$ (see picture \ref{CT3} and
montage \ref{DWARF}); this includes an increase of $\sim$10$\%$ per
mirror by using a hexagonal layout. A further increase of the mirror
area would require a reconstruction of parts of the mount and will
therefore be considered only in later phase of the experiment. 

If the current development cannot be finished in time a re-machining of
the old glass mirrors (8.5\,m$^2$) is possible with high purity aluminum
and quartz coating. (Both cases: 30 mirrors, 10k, offer by L-Tec
$\lesssim$500 EURO / mirror *30 mirrors = 15.000 EURO without transfer)

To keep track of the alignment, reflectivity and optical
quality of the individual mirrors, and the point-spread function of the
total mirror, during long-term observations the application of an
automatic mirror adjustment system, as developed by ETH Z"urich and
successfully operated on the MAGIC telescope, is intended. The system
will be provided by ETH Z"urich. (1.000 EURO/pannel)

For a 3.5\,m diameter mirror the delay between an isochronous parabolic
mirror and a spherical mirror at the edge is in the order of 1ns (see
figure/appendix). For a sampling rate in the order of 1\,GHz a mirror
mounting with a parabolic shape in needed. Since their small size the
individual mirrors can still have a spherical shape.

Telescope calibration:

Tracking: To correct for axis misalignments and possible deformations
of the structure (e.g. bending of camera holding masts) a pointing
correction algorithm as used in the MAGIC tracking system will be
applied. It is calibrated by measurement of the reflection of bright
guide stars on the camera surface and ensures a pointing accuracy well
below the pixel diameter. Therefore a high sensitive low-cost video
camera, as already in operation for MAGIC I and II, (300 EURO camera,
300 EURO optics, 300 EURO housing) will be installed.

PM Gain: For the calibration of the PM gain a calibration system as
used for the MAGIC telescope is build. (2000 EURO)

Summarizing, the expenses for the telescope are dominated by the camera
and DAQ. The financial volume for the complete hardware inclusive
transport amounts roughly 400.000 EURO.  

\textbf{Future extensions:} The known duty cycle of 10\%
($\sim$1000h/year) for a Cherenkov telescope operated at La Palma
limits the time-coverage of the observations. Therefore we propose a
worldwide network of ($<$10) small scale Cherenkov telescopes to be
build in the future allowing 24\,h monitoring of the bright AGNs. Such a
system is so far completely unique in this energy range. In a first
stage of the project mounts of other former HEGRA telescopes could be
used operated at locations in Croatia, the United States and Mexico.
For an increased sensitivity and improved energy threshold the use of a
low-cost mount build by the company MERO for solar power generation is
proposed. The mount is based on the experiences with the MAGIC
telescope, also builds by MERO, and has a diameter in the order of
eight meters. Including support (concrete foundation, railways, etc)
the costs are below 100.000EURO
