Description

The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) is a major facility in China. With its hybrid detection techniques (surface air shower array, underground muon detector array, water Cherenkov detector, and atmospheric Cherenkov telescope array), LHAASO has achieved an unprecedented sensitivity and precision in surveying the ultra-high-energy gamma-ray sky and measuring the spectra and composition of cosmic rays. In particular, LHAASO has made important progress on constraining the nature of PeVatrons, observing the diffuse Galactic gamma-ray emission, measuring cosmic-ray spectra, anisotropies and mass composition, as well as probing new physics. In this talk, we will summarize the scientific results of LHAASO.
