The Trigger System of the MAGIC Telescope

IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 2007
The MAGIC telescope aims at the detection of very low energy gamma rays (E > 10 GeV) through the atmospheric emission of Cherenkov light. The high background rate originated by the night sky background (NSB), muons, hadronic showers and bright stars sets a serious challenge to this goal.

The MAGIC telescope

Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 2003
Abstract An overview of MAGIC, the 17 m diameter Cherenkov telescope currently on its latest building stages at El Roque de los Muchachos observatory in La Palma (Canary Islands), is given. The suitability of the telescope for high energy astrophysics and fundamental physics is reviewed taking in to account its unique registration capabilities for ...

The reflective surface of the MAGIC telescope

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2008
Abstract The atmospheric Cherenkov telescope MAGIC for ground-based gamma-ray astronomy is operating since late 2003 on the Canary island of La Palma. Its 17 m diameter mirror is composed of 964 square all-aluminum mirrors of ∼ 0.5 m side, making up a parabola of 236 m 2 area.

Multiwavelengths Observations with the MAGIC Telescope [PDF]

open access: possibleChinese Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2003
This paper reports the observability of distant gamma-sources using groundbased imaging air-Cherenkov telescopes with low energy thresholds like the MAGIC telescope. In particular we focus on extragalactic sources at low and high redshift which are emitting gamma photons up to very high energies. AGN for example are one of the most promising candidates
