Description
As part of the development of PeV gamma-ray astronomy and ultra-high-energy cosmic ray physics, development continues on the TAIGA-100 large-scale astrophysical complex, covering an area of 100 km2. This complex is a continuation of the TAIGA-1 pilot facility successfully implemented in the Tunka Valley, featuring a hybrid detector system covering an area of approximately 1 km^2.
The core elements of the new facility will be wide-angle Cherenkov stations with a viewing angle of ~1 steradian and muon detectors with an area of approximately 40 m^2. The facility will also include atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes for lower-energy gamma-ray astronomy and for searching for sub-TeV gamma-rays from gamma-ray bursts. A 0.3 km2 Engineering Array, including all the main detectors of the future TAIGA-100 complex, is planned for the near future.
The poster will describe Engineering array and its main features.
