  • Chapter
Very High Energy Gamma Ray Astronomy

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 199))

Abstract

The EAS-TOP is an air shower array situated on the vertical of the Underground Gran Sasso Laboratory, in Italy. Its performances in Ultra High Energy (UHE) gamma-ray astronomy are described both in the search for point sources (Eo > 5.1013 eV) and in the identification of primary gamma-rays.
