Physics results with the ARGO-YBJ experiment Original Research Article

ARGO-YBJ is a multipurpose experiment consisting in a dense sampling air shower array with 93% sensitive area located at very high altitude. The apparatus is in stable data taking since November 2007 at the YangBaJing Cosmic Ray Laboratory (Tibet, PR China, 4300 m a.s.l., 606 g/cm2). In this paper we report the main results in Gamma-Ray Astronomy and Cosmic Ray Physics after about 3 years of operation.
