The high-energy gamma-ray fluence and energy spectrum of GRB 970417a from observations with Milagrito
R. Atkins, W. Benbow, D. Berley +38
Evidence of TeV emission from GRB970417a has been previously reported using data from the Milagrito detector. Constraints on the TeV fluence and the energy spectrum are now derived…
A Survey of the Northern Sky for TeV Point Sources
K. Wang, R. Atkins, W. Benbow +4
A search for steady TeV point sources anywhere in the northern sky has been made with data from the Milagrito air-shower-particle detector. Over 3 x 10**9 events collected from 199…
Evidence for TeV Emission from GRB 970417a
The Milagro Collaboration, R. Atkins, W. Benbow +37
Milagrito, a detector sensitive to very high energy gamma rays, monitored the northern sky from February 1997 through May 1998. With a large field of view and a high duty cycle, th…
Milagrito: a TeV air-shower array
The Milagro Collaboration, R. Atkins
Milagrito, a large, covered water-Cherenkov detector, was the world's first air-shower-particle detector sensitive to cosmic gamma rays below 1 TeV. It served as a prototype for th…
First Results of a Study of TeV Emission from GRBs in Milagrito
J. E. McEnery, R. Atkins, W. Benbow +36
Milagrito, a detector sensitive to gamma-rays at TeV energies, monitored the northern sky during the period February 1997 through May 1998. With a large field of view and high duty…
TeV Observations of Markarian 501 with the Milagrito Water Cherenkov Detector
R. Atkins
The Milagrito water Cherenkov detector near Los Alamos, New Mexico, operated as a sky monitor at energies of a few TeV between February 1997 and May 1998 including the period of th…
Instrumented Water Tanks can Improve Air Shower Detector Sensitivity
R. Atkins, W. Benbow, D. Berley +40
Previous works have shown that water Cherenkov detectors have superior sensitivity to those of scintillation counters as applied to detecting extensive air showers (EAS). This is i…
Calibration of the Milagro Cosmic Ray Telescope
R. Atkins, W. Benbow, D. Berley +40
The Milagro detector is an air shower array which uses the water Cherenkov technique and is capable of continuously monitoring the sky at energies near 1 TeV. The detector consists…
Study of the Shadows of the Moon and the Sun with VHE Cosmic Rays
R. Atkins, W. Benbow, D. Berley +40
Milagrito, a prototype for the Milagro detector, operated for 15 months in 1997-8 and collected 8.9 billion events. It was the first extensive air shower (EAS) array sensitive to s…
Detection of 6 November 1997 Ground Level Event by Milagrito
R. Atkins, W. Benbow, D. Berley +40
Solar Energetic Particles from the 6 November 1997 solar flare/CME(coronal mass ejection) with energies exceeding 10 GeV have been detected by Milagrito, a prototype of the Milagro…
Search for Short Duration Bursts of TeV Gamma Rays with the Milagrito Telescope
R. Atkins, W. Benbow, D. Berley +40
The Milagrito water Cherenkov telescope operated for over a year. The most probable gamma-ray energy was ~1 TeV and the trigger rate was as high as 400 Hz. We have developed an eff…
Search for a TeV Component of GRBs using the Milagrito Detector
R. Atkins, W. Benbow, D. Berley +40
Observing gamma ray bursts (GRBs) in the TeV energy range can be extremely valuable in providing insight to GRB radiation mechanisms and in constraining source distances. The Milag…
