magic (telescope)

MAGIC is the Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov Telescope. It is sited at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma in the Canary Islands. With a large mirrored dish 17m across and with an area of 240 square metres it is able to detect the flashes of light induced in the atmosphere by cosmic rays (see Cherenkov radiation) and is intended in particular to detect gamma rays. It began producing data in 2004 and is a followup to the HEGRA experiment.
