Performance of the muon detector A under TIBET Ⅲ array

In order to observe gamma rays in the 100 TeV energy region, the 4500 m2 underground muon detector array using water Cherenkov technique is constructed, forming the TIBET Ⅲ＋MD hybrid array. Because the showers induced by primary gamma rays contain much fewer muons than those induced by primary hadro...

Summary:In order to observe gamma rays in the 100 TeV energy region, the 4500 m2 underground muon detector array using water Cherenkov technique is constructed, forming the TIBET Ⅲ＋MD hybrid array. Because the showers induced by primary gamma rays contain much fewer muons than those induced by primary hadrons, significant improvement of the gamma ray sensitivity for TIBET Ⅲ＋MD array is expected. In this paper, the design and performance of the MD-A detector with large Tyvek bag is reported.
