Test of the prototype of electron detector for LHAASO project using cosmic rays

Abstract

LHAASO project is to be built in south-west China, which use an array of 5137 election detectors for the measurement of the incident electrons arriving at the detector plane. For the quality control of the big quantity of electron detectors, a cosmic ray hodoscope with two-dimensional spacial sensitivity and good time resolution has been developed. The first prototype of electron detector is tested with the hodoscope and the performance of the detector is validated to be consistent with the design.
