Abstract: (INDICO)

The Tibet air shower array, consisting of 533 scintillation counters which are placed in a lattice with 7.5 m spacing, has been in operation since 1999 at Yangbajing in Tibet, China at an altitude of 4,300 m above sea level. In this conference, we will report on the continuous observation of multi-TeV gamma rays from the Crab Nebula with the Tibet air shower array. We found no evidence for time variability of flux intensity from the Crab Nebula at multi-TeV energies. Also the gamma-ray energy spectrum of the Crab Nebula is consistent with our previous results and other observations by the atmospheric imaging Cherenkov telescopes. In addition, we will discuss our systematic errors, such as the stability in pointing accuracy, angular resolution and the absolute energy scale error, which have been checked by monitoring the Moon's shadow in the cosmic-ray flux.
