Bulgarian scientists participate in the discovery of teraelectronvolt photons from cosmic gamma-ray burst

For over 15 years, the three largest gamma-astronomical experiments in the world, HESS (in the Namibian Mountains), MAGIC (on the volcanic top of La Palma Island, Canary Islands) and VERITAS (in the Arizona desert) have been looking for evidence of very high energy electromagnetic emission (over 1 teraelectronvolt) from cosmic gamma-ray bursts. The Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy (INRNE) of BAS has been actively involved since 2005 in the MAGIC collaboration. It was created to study cosmic gamma radiation through the construction, development and operation of a complex of two Cherenkov telescopes and brings together about 170 scientists from 12 countries. Gamma-ray bursts are the brightest after the Big Bang short electromagnetic cosmic explosions that occur daily in the sky at an unpredictable [...]
