The ARGO-YBJ experiment has been in stable data taking for more than 5 years at the YangBaJing Cosmic Ray Observatory (Tibet, P. R. China, 4300 m a.s.l., 606 g/cm2). With a duty-cycle greater than 86%, the detector collected about 5 × 1011 events in a wide energy range, from few hundred GeV up to about 10 PeV. High altitude location and detector features make ARGO-YBJ capable of investigating a wide range of important issues in Cosmic Ray and Astroparticle Physics by imaging the front of atmospheric showers with unprecedented resolution and detail. In this paper, the main physics results in gamma-ray astronomy and in cosmic ray physics are summarized.

Insight Into

Gamma-ray astronomy has become a rich field of research and matured significantly since the launch of NASA's Compton Gamma Ray Observatory in April 1991. Studies of the diffuse γ-ray emission of the Galaxy can now be performed in far more detail and extended into the MeV regime, including both continuum and line emission. These studies provide unique insight into various aspects of the interstellar medium, in particular of the cosmic-ray component. This paper gives a brief review on the diffuse Galactic γ-ray emission and summarizes early results and prospects from the Compton Observatory.

Air Shower

The South Pole air shower experiment (SPASE), a joint Bartol Research Institute and Leeds University project, has been operational since the austral summer of 1987/88. It is a cosmic ray telescope searching for cosmic gamma rays at energies up to 1000 TeV. Although it has a relatively small area (6800 m2), it is situated at an altitude of 2800 m and has a 24 hour coverage, making it very competitive. The angular resolution of 0.°8 at 200 TeV is state-of-the-art in gamma ray astronomy. The astronomical programme includes searches for gamma ray sources, searches for anisotropy in the cosmic ray sky and measuring the energy spectrum over the range 1014-1016 eV.

AbstractThe Buckland Park air shower array is being developed particularly for use as an ultra-high-energy gamma ray astronomy telescope. The properties of this instrument are described with an emphasis on improvements being made to its angular resolution. Some early data are presented to illustrate the way in which the data obtained will be used.

Division XI, the predecessor to Division D until 2012, was formed in 1994 at the IAU General Assembly in The Hague by merging Commission 44 Astronomy from Space and Commission 48 High Energy Astrophysics. Historically, space astrophysics started with the high energy wavelengths (far UV, X-ray, and gamma-ray astronomy) which are only accessible from space. However, in modern astronomy, to study high energy astrophysical processes, almost all wavelengths are used (including gamma-ray, X-ray, UV, optical, infrared, submillimeter and radio). In addition other ground-based facilities, including gravitational wave antennas, neutrino detectors and high-energy cosmic ray arrays are joining in this era of multi-messenger astrophysics, as well as space missions with the primary goals to discover and study exoplanets, are under the umbrella of Division XI.

The ARGO-YBJ detector, a RPC carpet array at the high altitude of 4300 m has been stably operated since 2007. As a multi-purpose experiment the physics topics of ARGO-YBJ covers the VHE gamma-ray astronomy, cosmic ray physics and solar physics. Results of these experimental studies are reviewed. And as a future extension project, the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) is introduced, some research and development of detectors are described.
