The TAIGA gamma observatory is continuing its deployment at the Tunka valley, close to lake Baikal. The new, original detectors, able to work under severe conditions of Siberia, were developed to increase the TAIGA sensitivity for the study of gamma-quanta at energies about 1 PeV and above. The distinguishing feature of the detectors is the use of the wavelength shifting light guides for scintillation light collection on a photodetector. Several designs of the counters have been tested: equipped with PMT or SiPM photo-detectors, acrylic or polystyrene based scintillators with thickness from 1 to 5 cm and detecting area from 0.75 to 1.0 m2. The data on the amplitude of the signal from cosmic muons measured in different points within the counter are presented. The first 48 counters were produced and deployed in 2019 at the TAIGA experiment. They form 3 stations each with 8 surface detectors and 8 underground detectors buried at the depth of 1.7 m. After two winters, all counters are working.

“…In 2022, we completed the deployment and commission of the TAIGA-1 hybrid complex [9,10]. It consists of 120 TAIGA-HiSCORE wide-angle Cherenkov stations, three 4-m class Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT) and 250 m 2 of scintillation particle detectors of Tunka-Grande [11] and TAIGA-MUON [12] arrays. Status and main results in the field of gamma-ray astronomy are presented in the paper.…”

“…They consist of 8 surface and 8 underground large-area scintillation detectors each (fig 2). Surface and underground detectors in clusters are located in pairs, surface detectors are strictly above the underground ones at a depth of 1.6 m, along the perimeter of the square with the side of 5 m. Scintillation detectors were developed specifically for this experiment in NSU and BINP [6]. Due to light and water impermeability, resistance to large temperature differences, structural strength and high reliability of the elements, they are adapted to use in the harsh climatic conditions of the Tunka valley.…”
