The Tunka Experiment:. Towards a 1-KM2 Cherenkov EAS Array in the Tunka Valley
Abstract
The project of an EAS Cherenkov array in the Tunka Valley/Siberia with an area of about 1 km2 is presented. The new array will have a ten times bigger area than the existing TUNKA-25 array and will permit a detailed study of the cosmic ray energy spectrum and the mass composition in the energy range from 1015 to 1018 eV.
