Discovery of TeV Gamma-Ray Emission from the Cygnus Region of the Galaxy

A. A. Abdo, B. Allen, D. Berley +36

The diffuse gamma radiation arising from the interaction of cosmic ray particles with matter and radiation in the Galaxy is one of the few probes available to study the origin of t…

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…

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…

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…

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…
