Abstract
In this article we discuss the possibility of using the observations by GLAST of standard gamma sources, as the Crab Nebula, to calibrate imaging air Cherenkov detectors, MAGIC in particular, and optimise their energy resolution. We show that at around 100Â GeV the absolute energy calibration uncertainty of Cherenkov telescopes can be reduced to â²10% by means of such cross-calibration procedure.
