Description

The TAIGA observatory addresses ground-based gamma-ray astronomy at energies from a few TeV to several PeV, cosmic ray physics from 100 TeV to several EeV as well as for search for axion-like particles, Lorentz violations and another evidence of New Physics. In 2020 year a one square kilometer TAIGA setup should be put in operation.
