Context. If relativistic particle acceleration takes place in colliding-wind binaries; hard X-rays and -rays are expected through inverse Compton emission; but to date these have never been unambiguously detected. Aims. To detect this emission; observations of Carinae were performed with INTEGRAL; leveraging its high spatial resolution. Methods. Deep hard X-ray images of the region of Car were constructed in several energy bands. Results. The hard X-ray emission previously detected by BeppoSax around Car originates from at least 3 different point sources. The emission of Car itself can be isolated for the first time; and its spectrum unambiguously analyzed. The X-ray emission of Car in the 22-100 keV energy range is very hard () and its luminosity is erg s -1. Conclusions. The observed emission is in agreement with the predictions of inverse Compton models; and corresponds to about 0.1% of the energy available in the wind collision. Car is expected to be detected in the GeV energy range. © 2008 ESO;
