DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Nikolay Budnev (Irkutsk State University)\nThe TAIGA
  experiment  current  status\,  recent results and development prospects a
 re presented. The TAIGA observatory addresses ground-based gamma-ray astro
 nomy at energies from a few TeV to several PeV\, as well as cosmic ray phy
 sics from 100 TeV to several EeV and astroparticle physics. Presently the 
 pilot TAIGA-1 complex includes integrating air Cherenkov TAIGA-HiSCORE arr
 ay with 120 wide-angle optical stations distributed over on area 1 square 
 kilometer about and three the 4-m class Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Tele
 scopes of the TAIGA-IACT array. To study the entire energy range available
  for observation\, the TAIGA experiment uses three modes of detecting EAS 
 from gamma-rays. Stand-alone mode is used to detecting gamma-rays with ene
 rgies of more than 2-3 TeV with only one IACT. To detect gamma-rays with e
 nergies above 10 TeV\, it is possible to use a stereo mode\, when - EAS is
  detected by two or more IACTs.  The hybrid mode is to use joint data obta
 ined with the help of IACTs and HiSCORE stations. In this approach\, the r
 econstruction of the energy of the primary particle\, the direction and  c
 ore position  is carried out by analyzing the data of the HiSCORE and  IAC
 Ts data ate used for the gamma/hadron separation. During the next three ye
 ars\, 2 more IACTs with a mirror diameter of 4 m  will begin to work. To  
 increase array the effective  area for the energy above 300 TeV up to 2 km
 $^2$\,  10 - 15  stations of the TAIGA-HiSCORE array will be installed out
 side the border of  TAIGA-HiSCORE array.. The further aim is to create a c
 omplex TAIGA-100\, 100 km$^2$ area\, for the study of the origin of cosmic
  rays in the energy range of 0.1-10$^4$ PeV\, by detecting gamma-rays in t
 he TeV-PeV energy range.\n\nhttps://indico.particle.mephi.ru/event/436/con
