Introduction

But claimed by Butt et al. and Reimer et al. …

TeV detection from SNRs SN1006 (CANGAROO) => e or p Cas-A (HEGRA) => p RX J1713.2-3946 (CANGAROO) => p

RX J1713.2-3946

Inconclusive problem

Need further evidence

NANTEN supports our results (Fukui et al.)

Procedure of analysis

1.Select clustered event

=>remove N.S.B.2.Arrival time of signal Almost the same

time at shower event

3.Cut cloudy data4.Cut low elevation

SummaryOur data strongly favour gamma rays

from neutral pions and low flux from synchrotron/inverse Compton.NANTEN data will give us more

physics.Fine structure allow two-zone model.

Chandra and XMM-newton resutlts are needed.

Check of approximation

TeVE 73max TeVE 100max Factor is 1.5, but it does not change conclusion.
