Status of the Scintillation Experiment of the TAIGA Astrophysical Complex
The scintillation experiment of the TAIGA astrophysical complex comprises two systems: Tunka-Grande and Taiga-Muon. The main objective of these systems is to study the energy spectrum and mass composition of cosmic rays in the energy range of $$10^{15}{-}10^{18}$$ eV, as well as to search for gamma radiation in the same energy range. An additional task of the experiments is to search for a signal from gamma quanta in the sub-PeV energy range in conjunction with wide angle Cherenkov detectors TAIGA-HiSCORE and Tunka-133. The report presents the objectives and status of the facility and a description of the design of scintillation counters and clusters. The results of the study of EAS with an unusual spatiotemporal structure are presented together with the results of a study of the joint operation of the Tunka-Grande and TAIGA-HiSCORE setups in order to search for sub-PeV gamma quanta. Estimates are made of the expected number of registered gamma quanta from the Crab Nebula.
