Abstract

The complex EAS array Carpet-3 is under construction now in the Baksan Neutrino Observatory of the INR RAS. The array is located at an altitude of 1700 m above sea level and is designed to record extensive air showers (EAS) of cosmic rays in the primary energy range from 10 TeV to 10 PeV. The underground muon detector with a total area of 410 m2 allows for highly efficient separation of showers generated by primary gamma quanta of ultra-high energies from ordinary EAS formed by primary protons and nuclei. One of the main tasks of the EAS array is to measure the characteristics of high-energy gamma radiation of cosmic origin. The description and characteristics of the EAS array Carpet-3, as well as the research results obtained in the field of gamma-ray astronomy are presented.
