TeV Gamma Rays - Eckart Lorenz

Gamma rays, like neutrinos, are "messengers" of distant, high-energy cosmic events, and are thus indispensible tools to help understand quite a few fundamental questions in our Universe. The field of gamma-ray astronomy is a section of high-energy particle astrophysics research. The window of TeV gamma-ray astronomy was only opened in 1989, with the discovery of the first TeV gamma-ray...
