  The Major Atmospheric Cherenkov Experiment (MACE) is a large size (21m)
Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) installed at an altitude of
4270m above sea level at Hanle, Ladakh in northern India. Here we report the
detection of Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from Crab Nebula above
80 GeV. We analysed ~15 hours of data collected at low zenith angle between
November 2022 and February 2023. The energy spectrum is well described by a
log-parabola function with a flux of ~(3.46 +/- 0.26stat) x 10-10 TeV-1 cm-2
s-1, at 400 GeV with spectral index of 2.09 +/- 0.06stat and a curvature
parameter of 0.08 +/- 0.07stat. The gamma-rays are detected in an energy range
spanning from 80 GeV to ~5 TeV. The energy resolution improves from ~34% at an
analysis energy threshold of 80 GeV to ~21% above 1 TeV. The daily light curve
and the spectral energy distribution obtained for the Crab Nebula is in
agreement with previous measurements, considering statistical and systematic
uncertainties.
