“…Then in 2012 we finished deployment of the Tunka-133 array consisting of 175 Cherenkov detectors [7,8] arranged over an area of 3 km 2 . In 2022, we completed the deployment and commissioning 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.…”

The physical motivations, present status, main results in study of cosmic rays and in the field of gamma-ray astronomy as well future plans of the TAIGA-1 (Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic ray physics and Gamma Astronomy) project are presented. The TAIGA observatory addresses ground-based gamma-ray astronomy and astroparticle physics at energies from a few TeV to several PeV, as well as cosmic ray physics from 100 TeV to several EeV. The pilot TAIGA-1 complex is located in the Tunka valley, ~50 km west from the southern tip of the lake Baikal.

“…The TAIGA Astrophysical complex (Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic ray and Gamma Astronomy) [4] is designed to study gamma radiation and charged cosmic rays in the energy range of 10 13 − 10 18 eV. The complex includes installations aimed both at studying charged cosmic rays: Tunka-133 [5], Tunka-Grande [6], and for gamma-ray astronomy in the TeV-PeV energy range: TAIGA-Muon [6], TAIGA-HiSCORE [7] and TAIGA-IACT [8]. The TAIGA-IACT installation consists of three atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) with a mirror diameter of 4 m, their energy threshold is 2-3 TeV.…”

This paper is devoted to the analysis of simulation results of TAIGA-IACT in stereo mode of observations and describes the technique of gamma-ray detection with energies higher than several TeV. TAIGA-IACT is part of the TAIGA astrophysics complex. Installation currently consists of three operating telescopes located 300-500 m apart. Two additional telescopes will begin operation in the next two years. We describe a new gamma-hadron separation technique for point-like source observations.
