摘要：

Based on this exploratory investigation involving CORSIKA simulation code generated Cherenkov photons and a linearly polarized, hypothetical photon beam, we make a case here for exploiting polarization properties of atmospheric Cherenkov events for providing an independent method for locating air-shower cores by a TACTIC-like array of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Preliminary results based on simulations indicate that for a 3 TeV gamma-ray having similar to30% degree of polarization for its associated Cherenkov light at a core distance of similar to100 m, core location can be found with an error of similar to27 m.
