The YBJ International Cosmic Ray Observatory is located in the Yangbajing (YBJ) valley of the Tibetan highland. The Sino-Italian ARGO (Astrophysical Radiation with Ground-based Observatory) experiment studies cosmic rays, mainly cosmic gamma-radiation, at an energy threshold of ~100 GeV, by means of the detection of small size air showers.
