Scientific paper

The Milagro water Cherenkov detector near Los Alamos, New Mexico, will be the first air shower detector capable of monitoring the sky at energies between 250 GeV and 20 TeV. The wide aperture of the Milagro detector allows monitoring a large portion of the sky with high duty cycle, enabling the first opportunity to search this energy region effectively for transient phenomena, such as Gamma-Ray Bursts. A prototype, called Milagrito, was operated from February 1997 through April 1998. The commissioning and first light in the full Milagro detector will take place in fall 1998. In this paper, we present the status of the project, results from the prototype run and Milagro turn-on, and prospects for the future.
