Taiga-100 Astrophysical Complex – Status and Opportunities for Deployment in Russia

Key Points

The TAIGA-100 complex aims to address critical challenges in gamma-ray astronomy and cosmic ray physics, enhancing scientific understanding.
Analysis identified favorable astroclimatic conditions at potential deployment sites, which are crucial for effective measurements.
In-situ measurements gathered using an automatic monitoring system are fundamental for ensuring environmental suitability and data accuracy.
The deployment of the astroclimatic station at the TAIGA-1 site has provided initial foundational insights into the site's conditions.

Abstract

The article describes the project of the large-scale astrophysical complex TAIGA-100, aimed at solving a wide range of fundamental problems in the field of gamma-ray astronomy and cosmic ray physics. The results of the analysis of the astroclimate of potential sites for its placement are presented. The importance of in-situ measurements based on automatic monitoring is emphasized. The prototype of the astroclimatic station deployed on the territory of the current TAIGA-1 complex and the first results obtained using this station are described.
