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

Energy Spectrum of Cosmic-Ray Electrons at TeV Energies

Felix Aharonian, +155 more
TL;DR: In this measurement, the first of this type, the High Energy Stereoscopic System is able to extend the measurement of the electron spectrum beyond the range accessible to direct measurements, finding evidence for a substantial steepening in the energy spectrum above 600 GeV compared to lower energies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Probing the ATIC peak in the cosmic-ray electron spectrum with H.E.S.S.

Felix Aharonian, +168 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a measurement of the cosmic-ray electron spectrum with H.E.S. starting at 340 GeV and show no indication of a structure in the electron spectrum, but rather a power-law spectrum with spectral index of 3.0 +- 0.1 (stat.) + − 0.3 (syst.) which steepens at about 1 TeV.
Journal ArticleDOI

Search for a Dark Matter annihilation signal from the Galactic Center halo with H.E.S.S

A. Abramowski, +193 more
TL;DR: Limits are derived on the velocity-weighted annihilation cross section (σv) as a function of the DM particle mass that are among the best reported so far for this energy range and in particular differ only little between the chosen density profile parametrizations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Search for TeV Gamma-ray Emission from GRB 100621A, an extremely bright GRB in X-rays, with H.E.S.S

A. Abramowski, +220 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the long gamma-ray burst (GRB) 100621A, at the time the brightest X-ray transient ever detected by Swift-XRT in the 0.3-10 keV range, has been observed with the HESS.
