Very high-energy γ-ray observations of the Crab nebula and other potential sources with the GRAAL experiment

Arqueros, Fernando Ballestrín, Jesús Berenguel, Manuel

The "γ-ray astronomy at Almeria" (GRAAL) experiment uses 63 heliostat-mirrors with a total mirror area of ≈2500 m2 from the CESA-1 field at the "Plataforma Solar de Almeria" to collect Cherenkov light from air showers. The detector is located in a central solar tower and detects photon-induced showers with an energy threshold of 250±110 GeV and...

The GRAAL Project

Arqueros, Fernando Ballestrín, Jesús Berenguel Soria, Manuel

The GRAAL Project (Gamma Ray Astronomy at ALmeria) makes use of the CESA-1 heliostat field at the "Plataforma Solar de Almeria" (Spain) as a gamma-ray telescope with an energy threshold of about 100 GeV. Cherenkov light generated by EAS is reflected by the heliostats and collected into photomultipliers (PMTs) with nonimaging secondary optics....
