abstract = {It is widely believed that the bulk of the Galactic cosmic
rays is accelerated in supernova remnants (SNRs). However,
no observational evidence of the presence of particles of
PeV energies in SNRs has yet been found. The young
historical SNR Cassiopeia A (Cas A) appears as one of the
best candidates to study acceleration processes. Between
2014 December and 2016 October, we observed Cas A with the
MAGIC telescopes, accumulating 158 h of good quality data.
We derived the spectrum of the source from 100 GeV to 10
TeV. We also analysed ∼8 yr of Fermi-LAT to obtain the
spectral shape between 60 MeV and 500 GeV. The spectra
measured by the LAT and MAGIC telescopes are compatible
within the errors and show a clear turn-off (4.6σ) at the
highest energies, which can be described with an exponential
cut-off at $E_c = 3.5(^{+1.6}_{-1.0})_{{\rm stat}}
(^{+0.8}_{-0.9})_{{\rm sys}}$ TeV. The gamma-ray emission
from 60 MeV to 10 TeV can be attributed to a population of
high-energy protons with a spectral index of ∼2.2 and an
energy cut-off at ∼10 TeV. This result indicates that Cas
A is not contributing to the high energy (∼PeV) cosmic ray
sea in a significant manner at the present moment. A
one-zone leptonic model fails to reproduce by itself the
multiwavelength spectral energy distribution. Besides, if a
non-negligible fraction of the flux seen by MAGIC is
produced by leptons, the radiation should be emitted in a
region with a low magnetic field (B⪅180 μG) like in the
reverse shock.},
