Investigation of gamma radiation and charged cosmic rays (CRs) in the energy range of $10^{13}$−$10^{18}$ eV by detecting Cherenkov radiation from extensive air showers (EAS): studying the high-energy edge of the spectrum of the brightest galactic and extragalactic sources of gamma radiation, searching for galactic PeVatrons, applying a new hybrid approach to study mass composition of CRs in the range of $10^{14}$-$10^{17}$ eV, studying of CRs anisotropy in the energy range of 100 - 3000 TeV.
Expected results upon completion of the project:
Investigation of the energy spectrum of gamma quanta from galactic sources and the search for new sources of gamma quanta. Monitoring of the flux of gamma rays from nearby extragalactic sources. Search for TeV gamma rays from gamma-ray bursts and gamma rays correlated with high-energy neutrinos. Search for cosmic accelerators in which protons are accelerated to energies of 100 - 3000 TeV. Investigation of the mass composition of cosmic rays in the region of transition from galactic to extragalactic rays.
