Cerenkov light images of EAS produced by primary gammaIt 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.
