Note on the detection of high energy primary cosmic gamma rays by air shower observation

K. Kasahara, S. Torii, T. Yuda

Abstract

A mountain altitude experiment is planned at Mt. Norikura in Japan to search for point sources of astrophysical high-energy gamma rays in the 10 to the 15th power eV range. The advantages of mountain level observation of IR showers is stressed, especially in the case of high-energy gamma primaries from Cygnus X3 and other similar point sources.
