Very High Energy Gamma Ray Astronomy and Cosmic Ray Physics with the ARGO-YBJ experiment
Gamma ray astronomy at energies 1011 1013 eV, which are strictly related to the identification and study of the cosmic ray acceleration sites, is the main scientific goal of the ARGO-YBJ experiment. The detector, which is now being assembled in Tibet (China) at 4300 m a.s.l., is a full coverage Extensive Air Shower array consisting of a carpet of Resistive Plate Chambers covering a surface of a...
متن کاملImaging Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Telescopes
The technique of γ-ray astronomy at very high energies (VHE:> 100 GeV) with ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes is described, the H.E.S.S. array in Namibia serving as example. Mainly a discussion of the physical principles of the atmospheric Cherenkov technique is given, emphasizing its rapid development during the last decade. The present status is illustrated by two examples...
متن کاملHigh-(Energy)-Lights The Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Sky
The high-lights of ground-based very-high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gammaray astronomy are reviewed. The summary covers both Galactic and extragalactic sources. Implications for our understanding of the non-thermal Universe are discussed. Identified VHE sources include various types of supernova remnants (shell-type, mixed morphology, composite) including pulsar wind nebulae, and X-ray binary s...
متن کاملFuture science issues for Galactic very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy
This work intends to provide a brief summary of some of the Galactic science issues for the next generation of very high energy (VHE) instruments. The latter is here generically understood, as an instrument or set of instruments providing about one order of magnitude more sensitivity at its central energy (at about 1 TeV), but extending the observational window to have a real broadband capabili...
متن کاملThe Cat Imaging Telescope for Very-high-energy Gamma-ray Astronomy
The CAT (Cherenkov Array at Th emis) imaging telescope, equipped with a very-high-deenition camera (546 fast phototubes with 0:12 spacing surrounded by 54 larger tubes in two guard rings) started operation in Autumn 1996 on the site of the former solar plant Th emis (France). Using the atmospheric Cherenkov technique, it detects and identiies very high energy-rays in the range 250 GeV to a few ...
