Introduction
GLAST/LAT and the IACTs will be unprecedently close in energy coverage, thanks to the increased efficiency at high energies of the LAT compared to EGRET, and the lower thresholds of recent IACTs. This makes the concept of a cross-calibration between the two techniques possible. How, when and by how much can the absolute energy scale/flux scale be improved for IACTS?
