Detection of Cherenkov light from air showers with Geiger-APDs
A. N. Otte, I. Britvitch, A. Biland +6
We have detected Cherenkov light from air showers with Geiger-mode APDs (G-APDs). G-APDs are novel semiconductor photon-detectors, which offer several advantages compared to conven…
Upper limit for gamma-ray emission above 140 GeV from the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Draco
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Albert
The nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxy Draco with its high mass to light ratio is one of the most auspicious targets for indirect dark matter searches. Annihilation of hypothetical DM…
Recent progress of GaAsP HPD development for the MAGIC telescope project
T. Y. Saito, M. Shayduk, M. V. Fonseca +6
Today the Hybrid Photon Detector (HPD) is one of the few low light level (LLL) sensors that can provide an excellent single and multiple photoelectron (ph.e.) amplitude resolution.…
Discovery of Very High Energy Gamma-Rays from the Distant Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar 3C 279 with the MAGIC Telescope
Masahiro Teshima, Elisa Prandini, Rudolf Bock +9
The quasar 3C 279 is one of the best-studied flat spectrum radio quasars. It is located at a comparatively large redshift of z=0.536: E>100 GeV observations of such distant sources…
The reflecting surface of the MAGIC-II Telescope
D. Bastieri, J. Arnold, C. Baixeras +19
The MAGIC Collaboration is building a second telescope, MAGIC II, improving the design of the current MAGIC Telescope. MAGIC II is being built at 85 m of distance from MAGIC I, and…
VHE Gamma-Ray Observation of the Crab Nebula and its Pulsar with the MAGIC telescope
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Albert
We report about very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray observations of the Crab Nebula with the MAGIC telescope. The gamma-ray flux from the nebula was measured between 60 GeV and 9 TeV.…
