Abstract

The newly discovered gamma-ray emission from Cyg-X 3 with energies up to 2·1016eV gives the first evidence that particle acceleration in galactic gamma-ray sources can reach energies of the order of 104 TeV. We discuss the detectability of this type of sources by an underground muon tracking detector with area of the order of ∼1000 m2 and the physical information which could be obtained in this way.
