Abstract:An experiment for measuring the flux of gamma rays of cosmic origin with energy above 100 TeV (the Carpet-3 experiment) is currently being prepared at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory. The experimental setup suggests substantial increase of the areas of both muon detector and surface air shower array. We present some results of calculations of selection efficiency of air showers from primary gamma rays for different configurations of the array. It is demonstrated that by increasing the muon detector area up to … Show more
