Observations of CP 1133 with a Fast Night Sky Cerenkov Detector

Abstract

FOLLOWING the observations1–3 of sources of pulsed radio emission, attempts have been made to detect gamma radiation, or other neutral particles, from the source CP 1133 using the Cerenkov night sky technique4 in the energy region above 1012 eV.
