Abstract
Abstract The base of experiments using the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes is that the Cherenkov light emitted from the particles of extensive air shower created by the primary gamma-ray is collected by a mirror reflector and then detected by a pixelized PMT camera. SHALON are the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes created for the gamma-ray astronomy at the energies of 800 GeV to 100 TeV. Telescopes are located in the Tien-Shan mountains at the altitude of 3340 m a.s.l. The telescope systems have characteristics sufficient to record precise information about the shower structure in the energy range under consideration. SHALON experiment has been operating since 1992 and covers the wide astroparticle physics topics including an acceleration and origin of cosmic rays in supernova remnants , the physics of relativistic flaring objects like a black holes and active galactic nuclei as well as the long-term studies of the different type objects.
