The objective of TARGET is to equip FORTH, and the ARGOS Pathfinder Array with a high-precision time and frequency system that relies on an active hydrogen maser. This system will increase the timing and frequency stability of ARGOS-pathfinder by five orders of magnitude, transforming it into a key facility for major experiments such as the European Very Long Baseline Interferometry Network and the EPTA.
The project is funded by the HFRI under the "H.F.R.I.'s second
call for the
procurement of
high value research
equipment"
