Underground Prototype Water Cherenkov Muon Detector with the Tibet Air Shower Array

Abstract:

We are planning to build a water‐Cherenkov‐type muon detector (MD) array under the Tibet air shower (AS) array. The Tibet array will have the sensitivity to detect gamma rays in the 100 TeV region by an order of the magnitude better than any other previous existing detectors in the world. In the late fall of 2007, a prototype water Cherenkov muon detector of approximately was constructed under the existing Tibet AS array. The preliminary data analysis is in good agreement with our MC simulation. We are now ready for further expanding the underground water Cherenkov muon detector.
