Scientific paper

The 20-300 GeV energy range is up to now inaccessible to gamma ray astronomy. Here we report on a design of a 17 m ∅ air Cerenkov telescope, dubbed MAGIC telescope, which will have a threshold of 20 GeV (trigger threshold <10 GeV), a high collection area of >105 m2 (100 GeV) and a high gamma/hadron separation power. The hardware investments are estimated to be around 3.5 M$ while it would take 2.5-3.5 years for the construction.
