SUMMARY:Gamma-Ray Observations of Pulsars with Cherenkov Telescopes\, 
 Physics Department Colloquium\, Nepomuk Otte\, Georgia Tech
DESCRIPTION:Pulsars have first been detected in 1967 and since develop
 ed into a tool to study a diverse set of fundamental physics questions
 . Over the past few decades pulsars had been detected over the entire 
 electromagnetic spectrum. A recent highlight is the first detection of
  gamma-ray emission above 100 GeV from the Crab pulsar with VERITAS\, 
 which had not been predicted. I will tell the story that led to this r
 emarkable discovery\, how that discovery has changed our view of parti
 cle acceleration in the magnetosphere of pulsars\, and give prospects 
 of future observations of pulsars with the Cherenkov Telescope Array (
 CTA).
