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…

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…
