| Abstract: | The scintillation experiment of the TAIGA astrophysical complex comprises two systems: Tunka-Grande and Taiga-Muon. The main objective of these systems is to study the energy spectrum and mass composition of cosmic rays in the energy range of eV, as well as to search for gamma radiation in the same energy range. An additional task of the experiments is to search for a signal from gamma quanta in the sub-PeV energy range in conjunction with wide angle Cherenkov detectors TAIGA-HiSCORE and Tunka-133. The report presents the objectives and status of the facility and a description of the design of scintillation counters and clusters. The results of the study of EAS with an unusual spatiotemporal structure are presented together with the results of a study of the joint operation of the Tunka-Grande and TAIGA-HiSCORE setups in order to search for sub-PeV gamma quanta. Estimates are made of the expected number of registered gamma quanta from the Crab Nebula. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
