Abstract

A gamma-ray telescope with a 850 cm2 multiplate spark chamber as a detector, has been used in an experiment of six balloon flights to investigate the Crab Nebula Pulsar 0532. The triggering signal is provided by a plastic scintillator-directional Čerenkov counter system. The spark chamber events are photographed by a stereo camera. The time of arrival of each event is recorded in UTC time with one millisecond accuracy, to search for a possible pulsed gamma emission from NP0532 above 50 MeV.
