Abstract content

The new EAS Cherenkov array Tunka-133 of a sensitive area about 1 km^2 is mounting in Tunka valley since the end of 2005. The new array will permit a detailed study of cosmic ray energy spectrum and mass composition in the energy range 10^15 - 10^18 eV with the unique method. The array will consist of 19 clasters each containing 7 optical detectors. The first claster started operation since October 2006. We discribe the data aqcuisition system of the array and present the preliminaty results of the test operation.
