The first IACT as part of the gamma and cosmic-ray experiment TAIGA was installed in the Tunka Valley near Lake Baikal in fall 2016. In the following months different systems of the telescope were put into test operation. We started the commissioning phase of operating the telescope in time coincidence with the wide angle integrating air Cherenkov HiSCORE array, which for the time being comprises 28 working stations. We anticipate that the hybrid operation of the nonimaging and imaging telescopes will lead to a cost-efficient, highly sensitive detector operating in the energy range from 30-50 TeV till several PeV. Here we want to report on the first test results of operating the prototype hybrid array. We will focus on the analysis of count rates and image size spectra for all events detected by the IACT and the joint events detected also by the HiSCORE array, comparing these with expectations from MC simulations.35th International Cosmic Ray Conference

This is a proceeding of a rapporteur talk given on ground-based gamma-ray astronomy at the 35 th International Cosmic-Ray Conference (ICRC) held in 2017 in Busan, Republic of Korea. A total of ∼300 contributions were presented during the ICRC over 17 gamma-ray sessions. Here, I summarize the contributions mainly focusing on the source observations performed by ground-based gamma-ray instruments and the connection between gamma rays and cosmic rays. Any such summary must necessarily be incomplete. However, I have attempted to provide a glance into recent progress that has been made in using ground-based gamma-ray observations to understand the nature of high energy particles in our Universe.

“…In turn, HiSCORE events (blue dots on Fig.6) are consistent with the ISS-TLE track, after an additional time-adjustment δt T LE of 0-0.7 s (average 0.2 s), that aligns the peak of the HiSCORE amplitude development in fig.6(b) with the closest distance to the CATS spot on ground (CATS-FFOV). It seems, that a limited precision of ISS-TLE location/time is the origin for this additional δt T LE , since HiSCORE UTC-times are well understood (GPSDO/RbClock controlled [3,5]). We regard results obtained for detailed geometry alignment etc as somewhat preliminary, until these effects are understood.…”
