Detector specification of CTA (α-configuration) as compared to the current-generation IACT (i.e., MAGIC).

Telescope Components Energy band [TeV] FoV [deg2] [s]
MAGIC 2 (North) 0.03–∼10 ∼7 ∼20
CTA-LST 4 (North) + 2( * ) (South) 0.02–∼5 13 ( * *) 20
CTA-MST 9 (North) + 14 (South) 0.15–5 44 ( * *) 90
CTA-SST 37 (South) 5–300 > 50 60

Notes. The first column indicates the telescope name, and the second, third, fourth, and fifth columns correspond to the expected number of telescopes, the covered energy band, the field of view, and the slewing time, tslew, to re-point the telescopes. ( * )Initially not included in the CTA-array and recently funded d by PNRR program by the Italian government. ( * *)As described in the text, a FoV of 10 deg2 and 30 deg2 are used for the LST and MST in the present analysis.
