Description

We present the results of a search for very high energy γ-rays (E-γ ∼ 100 TeV) from SN1987A between August 1987 and March 1988. The counting rate excess from the source, mostly observed in January 1988, is statistically not significant (1.4 s.d.). The derived upper limit to the proton luminosity of the SN is Lp ≤ 1041 erg/sec
