MAGIC Gamma Ray Telescope

MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov Telescopes) is a system of two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes situated at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma, one of the Canary Islands, at about 2200 m above sea level. MAGIC detects particle showers released by gamma rays, using the Cherenkov radiation, i.e., faint light radiated by the charged particles in the showers. With a diameter of 17 meters for the reflecting surface, it is the largest in the world.

Die beiden MAGIC-Teleskope (engl.: Major Atmospheric Gamma-Ray Imaging Cherenkov Telescopes) sind die weltgrößten Luft-Tscherenkov-Teleskope. Sie stehen auf dem Roque de los Muchachos in über 2200 m Höhe auf der Kanarischen Insel La Palma.
