NectarCAM collaboration meeting

The NectarCAM collaboration meeting took place from February 2nd to 4th, 2026, in the IRAP conference room. This meeting brought together all the project stakeholders from 16 European laboratories responsible for developing and assembling the components (mechanical, electronic, detectors, control systems, etc.), as well as verifying the performance, of the NectarCAM cameras that will equip medium-sized telescopes at the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTAO). This observatory, dedicated to very high-energy gamma-ray astronomy, will study the astrophysical sources that accelerate cosmic rays in our Universe. The organizers of this meeting were Marjorie Cloup, Adellain Tsiahina, Robin Larroche, Luigi Tibaldo, and Pierre Jean, with the invaluable assistance of Nicole Briat and Selim Benguesmia.
