CANGAROO Project for High-Energy Gamma-Ray Astrophysics

Masaki Mori for the CANGAROO Team*

Institute for Cosmic Ray Research, University ot Tokyo, Kashiwa 277-8582, Japan

(Received April 15, 2003)

Abstract:

Astrophyisical motivations, recent status and results from the international CANGAROO project in Woomera, South Australia are described. Since 1990, with ground-based gamma-ray telescopes using the imaging Cherenkov technique, we are exploring the high-energy phenomena in the Universe and providing new insights to active and extreme astrophysical objects by its observational data at the highest end of photon spectrum.
