Our Galaxy is filled with cosmic-ray particles and more than 98% of them are atomic nuclei. In order to clarify their origin and acceleration mechanism, chemical composition measurements of these cosmic rays with wide energy coverage play an important role. Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) arrays are designed to detect cosmic gamma-rays in the very-high-energy regime (∼TeV). Recently these systems proved to be capable of measuring cosmic-ray chemical composition in the sub-PeV region by capturing direct Cherenkov photons emitted by charged primary particles.
