The Physics Potential of Ground-Based Gamma-Ray Astronomy below 50 GeV
N. Magnussen
Currently three ground-based Air Cherenkov detectors with energy thresholds below 50 GeV are being commissioned (CELESTE and STACEE) or under construction (MAGIC Telescope). Based…
Search for gamma-ray bursts above 20 TeV with the HEGRA AIROBICC Cherenkov array
HEGRA collaboration, L. Padilla, B. Funk +34
A search for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) above 20 TeV within the field of view (1 sr) of the HEGRA AIROBICC Cherenkov array (29N, 18W, 2200 m a.s.l.) has been performed using data take…
The MAGIC Telescope Project for Gamma Astronomy above 10 GeV
N. Magnussen
A project to construct a 17 m diameter imaging air Cherenkov telescope, called the MAGIC Telescope, is described. The aim of the project is to close the observation gap in the gamm…
Selected Results from Ground-Based Cosmic Ray and Gamma-Ray Experiments
N. Magnussen
Selected results from the HEGRA experiment on charged Cosmic Rays and on very high energy gamma-rays are presented. The MAGIC Telescope is presented as an outlook to the future of…
