Carpet-3 Experiment: Searching for Extrahigh-Energy Gamma Rays from Astrophysical Objects

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The Carpet-3 array at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory is designed to detect extensive air showers generated by primary cosmic rays of more than 100 TeV in energy. The main aim is to search for cosmic extrahigh-energy gamma rays. In this work, we describe the current state of the facility and the results from searching for extrahigh-energy photons from regions of the localization of candidates for gravitational-wave events detected by LIGO/Virgo during the third observational period.
