Scientific paper

EAS-TOP is a detector of the extensive air showers that very high-energy cosmic rays produce in the atmosphere. The array is located on top of the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory in central Italy; a subarray (11 modules of the e.m. detector) has been operating since the end of 1987. From such data the stability of the detector, and the accuracies in the determination of the arrival directions and in the reconstruction of the electron lateral distribution and of the shower size are derived. The results obtained on VHE-UHE gamma-ray sources in the first months of operation are presented.
