Scientific paper

The MAGIC Telescope after a full year of commissioning phase is now successfully taking data since October 2004. Many technical innovations contribute in lowering its energy threshold well below 100GeV. Among them, the all-aluminium parabolic reflecting surface that, with its 236 m2, makes it nowadays the biggest Cherenkov telescope and a smart trigger able to cope with the increased background rate. In this contribution, along with a brief overview of the scientific goals of MAGIC, details will be given on the construction and performance of the telescope, highlighting its first observational results and the potential for new physics.
