Title: Physics Perspectives in the new Window for Gamma-Ray Astronomy between 20 and 350 GeV

Abstract:
In 2003 a number of large diameter Air Cherenkov telescopes (CANGAROO, H.E.S.S., MAGIC, VERITAS) for very high energy gamma-ray astronomy will start to take data. These high sensitivity telescopes were designed for observations in the up to now inaccesseable energy range between 20-350 GeV where fundamental changes in gamma-ray emission from distant cosmic objects must occur. Prospects for observations and some of the astrophysics implications will be discussed.
