Journal ArticleDOI

First result from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station: precision measurement of the positron fraction in primary cosmic rays of 0.5-350 GeV.

M. Aguilar, +347 more
TL;DR: The very accurate data show that the positron fraction is steadily increasing from 10 to ∼ 250 GeV, but, from 20 to 250 GeV, the slope decreases by an order of magnitude, showing the existence of new physical phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI

Design concepts for the Cherenkov Telescope Array CTA: An advanced facility for ground-based high-energy gamma-ray astronomy

Marcos Daniel Actis, +685 more
TL;DR: The ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has had a major breakthrough with the impressive results obtained using systems of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes as mentioned in this paper, which is an international initiative to build the next generation instrument, with a factor of 5-10 improvement in sensitivity in the 100 GeV-10 TeV range and the extension to energies well below 100GeV and above 100 TeV.
Journal ArticleDOI

Introducing the CTA concept

B. S. Acharya, +982 more
TL;DR: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) as discussed by the authors is a very high-energy (VHE) gamma ray observatory with an international collaboration with more than 1000 members from 27 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and North and South America.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electroweak measurements in electron positron collisions at W-boson-pair energies at LEP

S. Schael, +1675 more
- 30 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of the four LEP experiments were combined to determine fundamental properties of the W boson and the electroweak theory, including the branching fraction of W and the trilinear gauge-boson self-couplings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variable very high energy γ-ray emission from markarian 501

Justin Albert, +149 more
TL;DR: The MAGIC telescope was used to observe the blazar Markarian 501 (Mrk 501) at energies above 100 GeV from May through July 2005 as mentioned in this paper, and the high sensitivity of the instrument enabled the determination of the flux and spectrum of the source on a night-by-night basis.
