Abstract
We present here the results of observation of very high energy(VHE) gamma-r ay emission from Crab Pulsar with the Beijing Atmospheric Cerenkov Telescop es, named ACT2 and ACT3, during the 1995-1996 season. The data are based on 168 h (ACT2) and 125 h (ACT3) of exposure over the period of observation i n tracking mode. After converting the event time to the solar barycentre, t he data have been searched for evidence of pulsed emission at 33 ms period of Crab Pulsar. We found no steady emission of VHE Gamma-ray with 33 ms per iod at the time scale of month or nights. But there are two evidences of sp oradic emission over an hour duration with the same period as the one at ra dio wave band.
