Description

The GELATICA experiment (GEorgian Large-area Angle and TIme Coincidence Array) comprises several cosmic ray detector arrays located in two cities in Georgia. These observatories are designed to detect Extensive Air Showers (EAS) with high-precision timing and determine the arrival directions of cosmic ray showers. GELATICA is part of the CREDO collaboration (Cosmic Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory), with its primary objective being the search for Cosmic Ray Ensemble (CRE). In this work, we present an analysis of data collected over the past few years, examining detector performance, the distribution of recorded signals, and the potential for simultaneous detections across multiple arrays. So far, no CRE candidate events have been identified.
