Muon detector of the Tunka-HiSCORE project
The use of muon detectors in order to improve the rejection of background EAS produced by protons and nuclei is proposed as part of the wide-aperture Tunka-HiSCORE γ-ray telescope project. The area of the muon detector and the depth of the bulk soil layer required for effective suppression of the electron-photon component of EAS are substantiated. Results from tests of the IHEP muon detector with light collected by WLS fibers are discussed.
