摘要：

If supernova remnants (SNR) ate the sites of cosmic-ray acceleration, the associated nuclear interactions should result in observable fluxes of TeV gamma-rays from the nearest SNR. A search for gamma-ray emission from six nearby, radio-bright, SNR has been made with the Whipple Observatory's gamma-ray telescope. No significant emission has been detected and upper limits on the >300 GeV flux are reported. Three of these SNR (IC 443, gamma-Cygni and W 44) are spatially coincident with low latitude unidentified sources detected with EGRET.
