DOIAbstract
The CASA‐MIA experiment is a very large extensive air shower detector with good angular resolution. This instrument has been used to search the entire visible sky for astrophysical point sources of 100 TeV gamma rays. Approximately 90% of the isotropic charged cosmic ray background is rejected by measuring the muon content of the showers. Stringent limits are placed on the possible flux of 100 TeV sources across a large part of the Northern sky.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/87711/2/1203_1.pd
