Scientific paper

The HEGRA experiment investigates the relativistic (non thermal) universe by measuring air showers initiated in the atmosphere by photons and charged particles from the cosmos, using the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov light technique (> 500 GeV) and the showerfront sampling technique (> 20 TeV). New results concerning the search and study of gamma ray sources above 500 GeV, the measurement of the energy spectrum and chemical composition of cosmic rays above 1 PeV and the search of TeV counterparts of Gamma Ray Bursts are briefly described.
