Over the past few years, the TAIGA (Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic ray physics and Gamma-ray Astronomy) observatory has been being deployed in the Tunka Valley, Republic of Buryatia. It is...

The TAIGA experiment (Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic ray physics and Gamma-ray Astronomy) combines heterogeneous arrays of imaging and non-imaging Cherenkov light detectors for registration of extensive air showers. Monte Carlo simulation of the whole detector response was carried out and is described in this article.

The Tunka-133 Cherenkov complex for recording extensive air showers (EAS) collected data over seven winters from 2009 to 2017. The differential energy spectra of all particles was acquired in...

A strong excess in a form of a wide peak in the energy range of 300–800 GeV was discovered in the first measurements of the electron spectrum in the energy range from 20 GeV to 3 TeV by the balloon-borne experiment ATIC (Chang et al., 2008b). The experimental data processing and analysis of the electron spectrum with different criteria for selection of electrons, completely independent of the results reported in Chang et al. (2008b) is employed in the present paper. The new independent analysis generally confirms the results of Chang et al. (2008b), but shows that the spectrum in the region of the excess is represented by a number of narrow peaks. The measured spectrum is compared to the spectrum of Chang et al. (2008b) and to the spectrum of the Fermi/LAT experiment.
