KASCADE-Grande Lab, Germany
From series “Incredible Labs for Space and Physics Research”Year: 2003.
The KASCADE-Grande installation is located in Karlsruhe. It was formed by specialists from the Technical Institute. It is a large ground network consisting of 252 detector stations. They are designed to study extensive air showers. These showers are the result of the impact of cosmic rays on the earth's atmosphere. Their energy is very high. The very first launch of the KASCADE-Grande experimental installation took place in 1996. The new improved KASCADE-Grande station started operating in 2003.
The widely used extrapolation method allowed modeling. But even such a universal method did not allow modeling some complex processes of extensive air showers. Such computer simulation systems were the first in the world. They allowed visually assessing the course of many physical processes. Researchers from all over the world have been studying them for decades. The researchers managed to get a lot of important data over the years of the unique installation. They estimated not only the energy of the studied cosmic particles but also their approximate mass.
