Scientific paper

Milagro is a large area (4000 m^2) wide field (2sr) gamma-ray telescope sensitive to gamma-rays with energies above a few hundred GeV. Milagro employs a novel design, utilizing a 3 million gallon pond instrumented with PMTs that is capable of detecting secondary particles from extensive air showers. The detector has an angular resolution of ≈ 0.5 deg. The copious background of cosmic-ray hadron events can be substantially reduced by rejecting events with penetrating energetic particles (muons and hadrons). Milagro has operated for 3 years. Results will be presented on the observation of high energy gamma-rays from the crab nebula, a well known gamma-ray source.
