Technicalities

For this sub-section, we assume the baseline VERITAS array is seven 10m telescopes positioned on a hexagonal grid with 80m sides operated in a trigger mode requiring at least three adjacent pixels in three telescope cameras to exceed a 4.2 photoelectron (pe) threshold. We define a sub-array as three telescopes located on an equilateral triangle with $\sqrt{3}*80$m separation. The sub-array trigger requires all three telescopes to detect >4.2pe per pixel in at least 3 adjacent pixels.
