AbstractAbstract
[en] We report our progress to detect sources of very high energy gamma rays (Eß > 1011 eV) and to improve the instrumentation of detectors in this energy regime. Approximately 4 x 105 Cerenkov air shower events from the region of Cygnus X-3 and the Crab nebula have been collected with our JPL instrumentation during the fall of 1982. Analysis of these events is in progress. We should be able to improve significantly on our 1981 sensitivity to source variations. We also continue our collaboration at Mt. Hopkins to develop a Cerenkov air shower camera. A suitable mirror and mount for use as a detector auxiliary to the primary 10 inch Mt. Hopkins detector has been located. By May 1983 the mirror and mount should be moved to Mt. Hopkins and fitted for observations by the fall
