Primary particle acceleration above 100 TeV in the shell-type supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 with deep HESS observations

Aims.We present deep HESS observations of the supernova remnant (SNR) RX J1713.7-3946. Combining data of three years – from 2003 to 2005 – we obtain significantly increased statistics and energy coverage as compared to earlier 2003 and 2004 results.
