Abstract: The expectations for the scientific capabilities of CTA presented in this document are based on sensitivity and response functions derived from detailed Monte Carlo simulations of the CTA observatory. The simulations model extensive air showers initiated by high-energy (HE) primary particles (gamma rays or background cosmic-ray nuclei and electrons), the Cherenkov light production by the shower particles, and the measurement processes of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes…
