Status of the KASCADE-Grande Experiment
Abstract
The status and capabilities of the KASCADE-Grande extensive air shower experiment are presented. The installation is located at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe and comprises a large collecting area (0.5 km2) electromagnetic array (Grande) operated jointly with the existing KASCADE detectors. KASCADE-Grande will cover the primary energy range 1016 eV < E0 < 1018 eV overlapping with KASCADE around 1016 eV, thus providing continuous information on the primary energy and mass of cosmic rays from 3x1014 eV up to 1018 eV. The major goal of the measurements is the unambiguous observation of the``iron knee'' expected in the cosmic ray spectrum at EkFe ~ 1017 eV.
