Abstract

The complex EAS array Carpet-3 is under construction now in the Baksan Neutrino Observatory of the INR RAS. The array is located at an altitude of 1700 m above sea level and is designed to record extensive air showers (EAS) of cosmic rays in the primary energy range from 10 TeV to 10 PeV. The underground muon detector with a total area of 410 m² allows for highly efficient separation of showers generated by primary gamma quanta of ultra-high energies from ordinary EAS formed by primary protons and nuclei. One of the main tasks of the EAS array is to measure the characteristics of high-energy gamma radiation of cosmic origin. The description and characteristics of the EAS array Carpet-3, as well as the research results obtained in the field of gamma-ray astronomy are presented.

INR RAS的巴克桑中微子天文台的复杂气淋阵列地毯-3：伽马射线天文学研究

复杂的EAS阵列“地毯-3”目前正在印度科学院的巴克桑中微子天文台建设中。该阵列位于海拔1700米的高度，旨在记录主要能量范围从10 TeV到10 PeV的宇宙射线的广泛空气阵雨（EAS）。地下μ子探测器的总面积为410平方米，可以高效地分离由超高能量的初级伽马量子产生的阵雨和由初级质子和原子核形成的普通EAS。EAS阵列的主要任务之一是测量宇宙源高能伽马辐射的特性。介绍了EAS阵列“地毯-3”的描述和特点，以及在伽玛射线天文学领域取得的研究成果。

期刊介绍： The journal Fizika Elementarnykh Chastits i Atomnogo Yadr of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna) was founded by Academician N.N. Bogolyubov in August 1969. The Editors-in-chief of the journal were Academician N.N. Bogolyubov (1970–1992) and Academician A.M. Baldin (1992–2001). Its English translation, Physics of Particles and Nuclei, appears simultaneously with the original Russian-language edition. Published by leading physicists from the JINR member states, as well as by scientists from other countries, review articles in this journal examine problems of elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, experimental data processing, accelerators and related instrumentation ecology and radiology.
