结果表明，根据在聚焦镜焦平面上看到的流星雨的切伦科夫光图像的宽度、长度和方向，即使具有相对粗糙的像素尺寸（如霍普金斯山探测器中使用的像素尺寸），也应该可以非常有效地区分背景强子流星雨和来自点源的 TeV 伽马射线流星雨。提出了该系统对风淋室响应的预测。
It is shown that it should be possible to distinguish very effectively between background hadronic showers and TeV gamma ray showers from a point source on the basis of the width, length and orientation of the Cerenkov light images of the shower, seen in the focal plane of a focusing mirror, even with a relatively coarse pixel size such as employed in the Mt. Hopkins detector. Predictions of the response of this system to air showers are presented.
