“…The advantage of the Cherenkov telescope as part of the complex of wide-angle timing Cherenkov stations is a possibility to obtain additional information about position of the shower axis, direction to the source, and the primary particle energy [4]. All these parameters are determined by the wide-angle Cherenkov stations instead of the IACT.…”

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

“…The reconstruction of the shower parameters is performed by using the algorithms developed for the Tunka-133 [1], [11] and for the TAIGA-HiSCORE arrays [12]. The accuracy of the reconstruction procedure was checked by comparing of the MC simulation results with experimental data [13]. About 20 millions EAS with simultaneous hits of 4 or more stations were recorded during the 55 clean moonless nights of the 2016-2017 winter season.…”
