Zusammenfassung

Observations of the shell-type supernova remnant SN1006 have been carried out with the HESS system of Cherenkov telescopes during 2003 (18.2 h with two operating telescopes) and 2004 (6.3 h with all four telescopes). No evidence for TeV gamma-ray emission from any compact or extended region associated with the remnant is seen and resulting upper limits at the 99.9% confidence level are up to a factor 10 lower than previously-published fluxes from CANGAROO. For SN1006 at its current epoch of evolution we define limits for a number of important global parameters. Upper limits on the gamma-ray luminosity (for E = 0.26 to 10 TeV, distance d = 2 kpc) of L_γ < 1.7 x 10³³ erg s^-1, and the total energy in corresponding accelerated protons, W_p < 1.6 x 10⁵⁰ erg are estimated (for proton energies E_p 1.5 to 60 TeV and assuming the lowest value n = 0.05 cm^-3 of the ambient target density discussed in literature). Extending this estimate to cover the range of proton energies observed in the cosmic ray spectrum up to the knee (we take here E_p 1 GeV to 3 PeV, assuming a differential particle index -2) gives W_p < 6.3 x 10⁵⁰ erg. A lower limit on the post-shock magnetic field of B > 25μG results when considering the synchrotron/inverse-Compton framework for the observed X-ray flux and γ -ray upper limits.
