New Results of the HEGRA Air Shower Detector Complex
Abstract
Recent highlight results obtained with the air shower detector complex HEGRA at the Canary island La Palma are presented. Observations and searches for gamma sources above an energy of 500 GeV are covered, where special emphasis is put on the recent flaring activities of the Blazar Mkn 501. A second main research topic of the experiment is the measurement of the energy spectrum and the elemental composition of the charged cosmic rays. Data covering the energy region of the "knee" around 3 PeV are presented.
