Abstract
Proceedings of the 6th Roma International Conference on Astroparticle Physics (RICAP)

Observations of gamma rays up to several 100 TeV are particularly important to spectrally resolve the cutoff regime of the long-sought Pevatrons, the cosmic-ray PeV accelerators. One component of the TAIGA hybrid detector is the TAIGA-HiSCORE timing array, which currently consists of 28 wide angle (0.6 sr) air Cherenkov timing stations distributed on an area of 0.25 km(2). The HiSCORE concept is based on (non-imaging) air shower front sampling with Cherenkov light. First results are presented.
