摘要：

The design, construction and operation of the University of Durham ground-based gamma ray telescope is discussed. The telescope has been designed to detect gamma rays in the less than or equal to 200 GeV region and to achieve good discrimination between gamma ray and hadron initiated showers in the higher energy region (greater than or similar to 300 GeV). The telescope was commissioned in 1995 and a description of its design and operation is presented, together with a verification of the telescope's performance.
