11. Summary Supernova remnant RCW86 (emitting synchrotron X-ray) was observed with the CANGAROO-II telescope. Preliminarily, we found gamma-ray like events ~4 sigma level (@Energy > 1 TeV). –We need more data to confirm this result. In this year, we took additional data. –More data (~65 hours) –High quality (Stereo observation; Enomoto OG2.5-6) High Signal/Noise ratio Lower energy region
