摘要
The ARGO-YBJ experiment, located at Yangbajing, Tibet, China, performed by a wide Sino-Italian collaboration, is designed to study cosmic rays, sub-TeV gamma ray sources and GeV Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) emission in the northern hemisphere, by means of detecting small size EAS (Extensive Air Shower) using a full coverage RPC (Resistive Plate Chamber) carpet. The central carpet of the detector is installed and put into operation to date, with 1900m(2) of the carpet already operating since December 2004. With a trigger multiplicity of >= 60 hits, corresponding to a primary mode energy of 2 TeV, the angular resolution of EAS measurements is < 1 degrees for showers with more than 500 recorded hits. We report the preliminary results of data taking performed during 2005: the all-sky survey for gamma ray sources and the search for GRBs, as well as the cosmic ray spectrum up to about 100TeV. The Forbush decrease of the cosmic ray flux during January, 2005 is observed using the ARGO data.
