摘要

The High Altitude GAmma-Ray (HAGAR) experiment is the highest altitude atmospheric Cherenkov sampling array, set up at 4300 m amsl in the Himalayas (Northern India). It constitutes 7 telescopes, each one with seven 90 cm-diameter mirrors, a field of view of 3 degrees, and was designed to reach a relatively low threshold (currently around 200 GeV) with quite a low total mirror area (31 m2). In order to remove the strong isotropic background of charged cosmic rays, data are collected by tracking separately On-source followed by Off-source regions, or vice-versa. Typical observation period is about 30-40 min. On-Off data pairs are then selected according to quality parameters such as stability of the trigger rate and the comparison of average trigger rates between On and Off-source data sets. Signal extraction from point sources is done by performing analysis cuts on the count rate excess, rejecting off-axis events. Validation of method and systematics are evaluated through the analysis of fake sources (Off-Off pairs) located at similar declination as the observed point sources. Spurious signal, if any, would show up in this study.
