Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov Telescope) is a Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescope situated at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma, one of the Canary Islands, at about 2200 m above sea level. It detects particle showers released by cosmic gamma-rays, using the Cherenkov radiation, i.e., faint light radiated by the charged particles in the showers.

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov Telescope) is a Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescope situated at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma, one of the Canary Islands, at about 2200 m above sea level. It detects particle showers released by cosmic 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. A second MAGIC telescope (MAGIC 2) at a distance of 85 m from the first one has started taking data in July 2009. MAGIC is sensitive to cosmic gamma rays with energies between 50 GeV and 30 TeV due to its large mirror; other ground-based gamma-ray telescopes typically observe gamma energies above 2-300 GeV. Satellite-based detectors detect gamma-rays in the energy range from keV up to several GeV).
