Title Search for > 200 TeV photons from Cygnus X-3 in 1988 and 1989
Date 1990-07
Description Over a period of 16 months from April 1988 to August 1989, we have monitored the flux of cosmic-ray showers with energies above 2X 101 4 eV. We used a two-level array of scintillators covering an area of 3 X 104 m2. Counters on the surface measure the size and direction of each shower while counters buried 3 m beneath the surface sample the muons.
