TAIGA experiment
TAIGA stands for “Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic ray physics and Gamma Astronomy” and is a complex, hybrid detector system for ground-based gamma-ray astronomy from a few TeV to several PeV, and for cosmic ray studies from 100 TeV to several 100′s of PeV. TAIGA will search for ”Pevatrons” (ultra-high energy gamma-ray sources) and measure the composition and spectrum of cosmic rays in the transition region from Galactic to Extragalactic origin. TAIGA will include the HiSCORE – an array of wide-angle integrating air Cherenkov stations, an array of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes, an array of particle detectors, both on the surface and underground and the TUNKA-133 integrating air Cherenkov array.
