Abstract:
'The Tibet air shower (AS) array and underground water-Cherenkov-type muon detector (MD) array have been successfully operated since 2014, at an altitude of 4,300m in Tibet, China. The gamma-ray energy and arrival direction are determined by the Tibet AS array, while the MD array enables us to suppress more than 99.9% of background cosmic rays above 100 TeV, by means of counting the number of muons in an air shower at 2.4m underground. We report on the observation of gamma-ray emission from the Cygnus region in our Galaxy.'
