  • Author: Stan Thomas
At ground level we have an array of over 500 particle detector stations covering an area roughly 30 km by 30 km. Overlooking the array are three telescope stations. The telescope stations have large mirrors and cameras made up of 16x16 arrays of photomultiplier tubes. The telescopes record an image of the cosmic particle shower as it passes through the atmosphere and the particle detector stations record the number of particles hitting the ground.
