TAUWER experiment is a new concept of an EAS detector capable for measurements of cosmic rays arriving with large zenith angles. This kind of detector will be part of a large area (several square kilometer) surface array designed to measure Ultra High Energy (0.01-100 EeV) neutrinos using the Earth-skimming technique. Because of the very good time resolution and adjustable orientation of the detector elements, we can separate upward-moving tracks from downward tracks at any orientation with high efficiency. The detectors have been tested by measurements in coincidence with the KASCADE-Grande cosmic ray facility located at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe/Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany. First results on the capability of muon-electron separation by these detectors are obtained.
