Observation of TeV Gamma Rays from the Crab Nebula with Milagro Using a New Background Rejection Technique
The Milagro Collaboration
The recent advances in TeV gamma-ray astronomy are largely the result of the ability to differentiate between extensive air showers generated by gamma rays and hadronic cosmic rays…
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…
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…
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…
