Description
A proof-of-principle experiment for the HiSCORE detector, a ground-based large-area wideangle
γ -ray and cosmic-ray experiment focusing on the energy range beyond 10 TeV and up
to 1 EeV, is planned at the Tunka-133 Cherenkov EAS array. The HiSCORE prototype units
will be installed in 2012 and 2013. The calibration of the new detectors will be done by
simultaneous observations with the Tunka-133 Cherenkov array, using the Earth atmosphere
as a huge calorimeter. We review the main characteristics of HiSCORE, and plans for the next
steps.
