Cosmic rays
In this talk I will review and disucss the results obtained with the KASCADE-Grande in the study of the spectrum, chemical composition and anistropy of primary cosmic rays in the 10^16-10^18 eV energy range

Cosmic rays
Large volume detectors designed for the detection of astrophysical neutrinos such as IceCube register cosmic ray-induced atmospheric muon bundles at a rate of several thousand events per second. Due to the large amount of surrounding material, the effective energy threshold for muons reaching the detector lies at approximately one TeV. By careful evaluation of event profiles it is possible to...

Cosmic rays
After a brief description of the main scientific findings at Chacaltaya, we presented the possibility of a network to search for Extensive Air Showers originated from primary cosmic rays at energies greater than 10^^15 eV. Such EAS could be measured in the existing high altitude laboratories deployed in the region of Latin America.
The Chacaltaya EAS array, located at 5230 m a.s.l. could be...

Cosmic rays
The TAIGA project is aimed at solving the fundamental problems of gamma-ray astronomy and physics of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays with the help of the complex of detectors, located in the Tunka valley (Siberia, Russia). TAIGA includes a wide-angle large area Tunka-HiSCORE array, designed to detect gamma-rays of ultrahigh energies in the range 20 - 1000 TeV and charged cosmic rays with energies...
