Scientific paper

During November/December 2007, we observed the region centered on the Geminga Pulsar for 10.4 hours using the VERITAS IACT Observatory. We find no evidence for either steady emission point source emission, or pulsed emission of a point source at the period of the Geminga pulsar (237 msec). The measured VHE γ-ray flux limits for the impulsed search is Fγ(>300 GeV,99%c.l)<2×10-8 m-2 s-1. A search for overall pulsed emission as well as low energy emission (Eγ<200 GeV) found no statistically significant excess in any bin of the phase plot. The γ-ray flux upper limits from the pulsed search is Fγ(E<200 GeV and E>100 GeV,99%c.l.)<0.8-1.0×10-8 m-2 s-1.
