Photo taken on July 2, 2019 shows the ASgamma experiment in Yangbajain, southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region. A joint research team made up of Chinese and Japanese scientists has discovered the highest energy cosmic gamma rays ever observed from an observatory in Tibet, opening a new window to explore the extreme universe.

The figure shows an event display of the observed 449TeV photon-like air shower. (Photo/IHEP)
The China-Japan collaboration placed new water Cherenkov-type muon detectors under the existing cosmic-ray air-shower array in 2014. These underground muon detectors can suppress 99.92% of cosmic-ray background noise. (Photo/IHEP)
