TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an updated assessment of the power of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) to search for thermally produced dark matter at the TeV scale via the associated gamma-ray signal from pair-annihilating dark matter particles in the region around the Galactic centre.

TL;DR: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) as mentioned in this paper is the major next-generation observatory for ground-based very high-energy gamma-ray astronomy, which will improve the sensitivity of current groundbased instruments by a factor of five to twenty, depending on the energy, greatly improving both their angular and energy resolutions over four decades in energy.

TL;DR: The camera calibration strategy is presented, from the laboratory measurement to the on-site monitoring with emphasis on the results obtained with the first camera prototype, and key performances such as charge resolution, time resolution and trigger efficiencies and their degradation with increasing night-sky background level will be presented.
