The MAGIC telescope reflecting surface
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2004Abstract The Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov telescope will achieve an energy threshold lower than any other present IACT (E Th ∼30 Gev ) thanks to the largest reflecting surface, a 17 m diameter, f/1, tessellated parabolic reflector.

DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCES OF THE MAGIC TELESCOPE
Advanced Technology and Particle Physics, 2002The MAGIC Collaboration is building an imaging Čerenkov telescope at La Palma site (2200 m a.s.l.), in the Canary Islands, to observe gamma rays in the hundred-GeV region. The MAGIC telescope, with its reflecting parabolic dish, 17 m in diameter, and a two-level pattern trigger designed to cope with severe trigger rates, is the Čerenkov telescope ...

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2000
An overview of the design parameters and the status of the 17 m O MAGIC telescope project will be given. During phase I the telescope will reach a threshold of 30 GeV and a sensitivity of 6.10−11/cm2 sec (5 sigma, 50 hours on source). ‘First light’ is expected in mid 2001 and observations will begin in 2002. The telescope will be installed at the HEGRA

THE TIMING SYSTEM OF THE MAGIC TELESCOPE
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2005The Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Čerenkov Telescope (MAGIC) will be the first ground-based Čerenkov telescope able to detect photons with E > 30 GeV . This region of the electromagnetic spectrum, yet unexplored, is fundamental for pulsar physics since theoretical models foreseen a cut-off in the pulsed emission at tens of GeV.

Technical Solutions for the MAGIC Telescope
Astroparticle, Particle and Space Physics, Detectors and Medical Physics Applications, 2008The atmospheric Cherenkov telescope MAGIC for ground-based gamma-ray astronomy is operating since late 2003 on the Canarian island La Palma. The telescope’s 17 m diameter mirror is composed of 964 light weight, square all- aluminum mirrors of 234 m2 total area, which allows to lower the energy thresh- old to a value far beyond that of past generation ...

Cherenkov Telescopes and MAGIC
2019The first source of very-high-energy (vhe) gamma rays, the Crab nebula, was firmly detected by the Whipple collaboration in the 1980s [1]. Their pioneering instrument and analysis method became the basic concept in the field of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (iacts) and paved the way for todays third generation telescopes.

Highlights from the MAGIC telescopes
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2012The MAGIC telescopes are two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) located on the Canary island of La Palma. With 17m diameter mirror dishes and ultra-fast electronics, they provide the lowest energy threshold among existing IACTs. Reaching down to 50 GeV in standard trigger mode, it is the only IACT that can close the energy gap between ...

The upgraded MAGIC Cherenkov telescopes
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2014Abstract The MAGIC Cherenkov telescopes underwent a major upgrade in 2011 and 2012. A new 1039-pixel camera and a larger area digital trigger system were installed in MAGIC-I, making it essentially identical to the newer MAGIC-II telescope. The readout systems of both telescopes were also upgraded, with fully programmable receiver boards and DRS4 ...

Pulsar observations with the MAGIC Telescope
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2007Pulsars were detected by EGRET up to energies below 20 GeV. Observations at higher energies with ground‐based experiments, including MAGIC, so far failed to detect pulsars, indicating a sharp cutoff of the pulsed emission. Here we present, in particular, the results of the search for very high γ‐ray emission from the pulsar PSR B1951+32.
