Performance of the Tibet-III Air Shower Array
Abstract
: The Tibet-I I I air shower array (36900 m2 ) has been successfully operating at Yangba jing (4300 m a.s.l.), China. The threshold energy of observed air shower is estimated to be 1.5 TeV and 1.0 TeV for protons and gamma rays, respectively. The angular resolution is estimated to be 0.95° ± 0.01° around 3 TeV using a Monte Carlo simulation. This angular resolution is well confirmed by the cosmic-ray shadow by the moon observed during 83.0-day live time.
