Abstract: (AIP)
The search for point sources of VHE and UHE radiation is an exciting new field which bridges Astrophysics and High Energy physics. This paper describes three experiments to study this radiation: The first is the CYGNUS experiment in Los Alamos which has been operational since 1986 and is sensitive to the electromagnetic and muonic component of extensive air showers above 5×1013 eV. The second is the proposed GRANDE detector which will be capable of detecting all components of extensive air showers above 1013 eV and detecting upward coming muons from neutrino induced events in the rock below it. An third a new experiment, MILAGRO, to study the electromagnetic and muonic component of extensive air showers above 1012 eV is described.- Extensive air showers
