Sites for gamma-ray astronomy in Argentina
We have searched for possible sites in Argentina for the installation of large air Cherenkov telescope arrays and water Cherenkov systems. At present seven candidates are identified at altitudes from 2500 to 4500 m. The highest sites are located at the NW of the country, in La Puna. Sites at 2500 an...
