We propose a new air fluorescence and Cerenkov detector ASHRA. The ASHRA phase-1 detector consists of 1+1/3 observational stations installed at the distance of 30–40 km in a mountain site. It ensures the large target mass for neutrinos and low-energy threshold for TeV gamma rays. The observational station is composed of 12 wide-angle high-precision telescope, which can cover completely all-sky view. Each telescope has a field-of-view of 50 deg. × 50 deg. and spot size resolution of 1 arcmin. To realize the ASHRA telescope concept, we newly apply the following techniques matured in the other fields: i) Baker-Nunn optics optimized to keep better than 1 arcmin. resolution in 50 deg. field of view, ii) electrostatic lens image intensifier tube (IIT) with the resolution matched with that of the above optics, iii) gated IIT with a fast image shutter, and iv) CMOS image sensor which read triggered images out of the above IIT.
