Experimental complex for multi-component registration of the EAS in a wide energy range (1015-1019 eV)

Abstract

The Experimental complex (EC) NEVOD includes a number of unique experimental facilities for studies of main components of cosmic rays on the Earth's surface. The complex is used for basic research of CR flux characteristics and their interactions in the energy range 1015 - 1019 eV. To extend the experimental capabilities, nowadays new large-scale detectors are being deployed around the EC NEVOD: an array for the EAS registration (NEVOD-EAS), a detector of atmospheric neutrons (Uran) and a large-area coordinate-tracking detector (TREK). The description of experimental capabilities of the complex is given, and first results of simultaneous detection of various EAS components are discussed.
