The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the future ground-based gamma-ray observatory using the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov technique. One of CTA's key science projects is the search for galactic PeVatrons, extreme sources of accelerating cosmic particles. CTA's sensitivity in the multi-TeV region is crucial for this goal. A dedicated reconstruction of the telescopes' truncated images has been implemented in the CTA reconstruction pipeline in order to optimize CTA's sensitivity at very high energies (E > 10 TeV). First results are presented together with perspectives for PeVatron searches with CTA-North array.

Abstract
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the future ground-based gamma-ray observatory using the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov technique. One of CTA's key science projects is the search for galactic PeVatrons, extreme sources of accelerating cosmic particles. CTA's sensitivity in the multi-TeV region is crucial for this goal. A dedicated reconstruction of the telescopes' truncated images has been implemented in the CTA reconstruction pipeline in order to optimize CTA's sensitivity at very high energies (E > 10 TeV). First results are presented together with perspectives for PeVatron searches with CTA-North array.
