Cherenkov Telescope Array SST Camera Status Update — •Frederik Wohlleben for the CTA collaboration — Max-Planck- Institut für Kernphysik, P.O. Box 103980, D 69029 Heidelberg, Germany

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a next generation instrument for gamma ray astronomy. Within CTA initially an alpha configuration of 42 small sized telescopes (SST) will cover the highest energy range of 5 to 300 TeV. The design of the SST camera is currently being finalized and its performance verified in lab tests. This talk will give a comprehensive overview over the current status and the most recent developments.
