Detection of pulsed gamma rays above 100 GeV from the Crab pulsar.

Detection of pulsed gamma rays above 100 GeV from the Crab pulsar.

We report the detection of pulsed gamma rays from the Crab pulsar at energies above 100 giga-electron volts (GeV) with the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) array of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The detection cannot be explained on the basis of current pulsar mod...
