Search for High Energy Gamma-rays from CP 1133

Nature volume 220, pages 565–566 (1968)Cite this article

Abstract

SEVERAL proposed models for pulsars, involving shock waves1 and high magnetic fields2,3, suggest the possibility that high energy γ-rays may be emitted by such objects. We have therefore attempted to detect high energy (∼ 1014 eV), neutral cosmic rays from CP 1133, using the atmospheric Cherenkov technique4.
