Tunka-133 EAS Cherenkov Array: Status of 2007

The new EAS Cherenkov array Tunka-133, with about 1 km**2 sensitive area, is being installed in the Tunka Valley since the end of 2005. This array will permit a detailed study of the cosmic ray energy spectrum and the mass composition in the energy range of 10**15-10**18 eV with a unique method. The array will consist of 19 clusters, each composed of 7 optical detectors. The first cluster started operation in October 2006. We describe the data acquisition system and present preliminary results from data taken with the first cluster.

Cosmic Ray Energy Spectrum and Mass Composition from 10^15 to 10^17 eV by Data of the Tunka EAS Cherenkov Array

We present results of an improved analysis of the experimental data of the EAS Cherenkov array Tunka-25. A new function to fit the Cherenkov light lateral distribution LDF at core distances from 0 to 350 m has been developed on the base of CORSIKA simulations and applied to the analysis of Tunka data. Two methods to estimate the EAS maximum position have been used. The one is based on the pulse FWHM, the other on the light LDF. We present the primary energy spectrum in the energy range 10^15 - 10^17 eV. The use of the depth of the EAS maximum to determine the mean mass composition is discussed.

Cosmic Ray Energy Measurement with EAS Cherenkov Light: Experiment QUEST and CORSIKA Simulation

A new method of a primary cosmic particle energy measurement with the extensive air shower (EAS) technique has been developed by exploiting: a) the joint analysis of the shower size, obtained by the EAS-TOP array, and of the EAS Cherenkov light lateral distribution (LDF), obtained by the QUEST array, and b) simulations based on the CORSIKA code. The method is based on the strict correlation between the size/energy ratio and the steepness of the Cherenkov light lateral distribution and has been compared with a "classical" one based on the Cherenkov light flux at a fixed distance (175 m) from the EAS core. The independence of the energy measurement both on the mass of primary particle and the hadronic interaction model used for the analysis is shown. Based on this approach the experimental integral intensity of cosmic rays flux with energy more than 3*10^15 eV is obtained with good systematic and statistical accuracy.
