Аннотация:—The relevance and benefits of the new TAIGA gamma observatory complex in the Tunka Valley
(50 km from Lake Baikal) are discussed. The main aim of the TAIGA installation is to study high-energy
gamma radiation and search for cosmic pevatrons. The first series of gamma stations was commissioned in
2019 and covers an area of 1 km2
. Its expected integral gamma radiation sensitivity at an energy of 100 TeV
over 300 h of source monitoring is (2–5) × 10−13 TeV cm−2 s−1. It is planned to expand the effective area of
TAIGA gamma observation to 10 km2
in the future.
