Tluczykont, M. "Connecting neutrino Astrophysics to Multi-TeV to PeV gamma-ray astronomy with TAIGA" in Proceedings, Magellan Workshop: Connecting Neutrino Physics and Astronomy / Dahmke, Stefan K.G., Meyer, Mikko, Vanhoefer, Laura (eds.), Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY : 2016 Magellan Workshop, 2016-03-17 - 2016-03-18, Hamburg Magellan Workshop, Hamburg, Germany, 17 Mar 2016 - 18 Mar 2016 DESY-PROC 135-142(2016). doi:10.3204/DESY-PROC-2016-05/27 : Recent evidence for neutrinos in the PeV energy range from IceCube provides additional motivation for the search for the most energetic Galactic accelerators. Gamma-ray astronomy is a sound strategy to reach this goal, providing the energy range beyond 10\,TeV can be covered at a sufficient sensitivity level. The energy spectra of most known gamma-ray emitters only reach up to few 10s of TeV. The HEGRA IACT installation reported evidence for gamma-ray energies from the Crab Nebula as high as 80\,TeV. Uncovering their spectral shape up to few 100s of TeV could answer the question whether some of these objects are cosmic ray Pevatrons, i.e. Galactic PeV accelerators. Extending observations beyond this energy range requires very large effective detector areas, as planned by the TAIGA collaboration. : Published by Verlag Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, Hamburg
