DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Aleksahdr Kudzhaev (Baksan Neutrino Observatory\,INR
  of RAS)\nStudying diffuse gamma-ray emission with energies higher than 10
 0 TeV has become especially topical due to detection of astrophysical neut
 rinos in the IceCube experiment. If these neutrinos are a result of decays
  of charged pions\, neutral pions of the same energy should exist\, and th
 eir decays must generate considerable flux of gamma rays with energies abo
 ve 0.1 PeV. In order to confirm these expectations\, one should carry out 
 new high-precision experiments in this energy range. An experiment for mea
 suring the flux of gamma rays with energy above 100 TeV is currently being
  prepared at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory (the Carpet-3 experiment). St
 ep-by-step increase of area of the muon detector of the Carpet air shower 
 array is planned in this experiment. We present some results of calculatio
 ns of selection efficiency of air showers from primary gamma rays for diff
 erent configurations of the array. It is demonstrated that by increasing t
 he muon detector area up to 615 m^2 (the maximum possible value) one can r
 each with the Carpet-3 the world-best sensitivity to 100 TeV gamma rays.\n
