The Trigger System of the MAGIC Telescope
IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 2007The 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.

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, 2008Abstract 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.

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.

Multiwavelengths Observations with the MAGIC Telescope [PDF]
Chinese 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

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 ...

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.
