Very high energy gamma ray astronomy and non pulsating low mass X-ray binaries

This thesis is concerned with non pulsating Low Mass X-Ray Binaries as Very High Energy γ-ray sources, in particular Scorpius X-1; the brightest of these objects in X-rays, and the most likely to be detectable at energies above 250 GeV. After a first introductory chapter, experimental techniques pre...
