TAIGA—An Innovative Hybrid Array for High Energy Gamma Astronomy, Cosmic Ray Physics and Astroparticle Physics

The physics motivations and advantages of the hybrid detector complex TAIGA are presented. TAIGA aims to address gamma-ray astronomy at energies from a few TeV to several PeV units, as well as cosmic-ray physics from 100 TeV to several EeV units and astroparticle physics problems. In 2021 deployment...

Description
Summary:The physics motivations and advantages of the hybrid detector complex TAIGA are presented. TAIGA aims to address gamma-ray astronomy at energies from a few TeV to several PeV units, as well as cosmic-ray physics from 100 TeV to several EeV units and astroparticle physics problems. In 2021 deployment and commissioning of the one square kilometer TAIGA setup in the Tunka valley $\sim$50 km West from Lake Baikal will be finished. The first experimental results with the TAIGA are presented.
