Abstract content
GRAND is an array of position sensitive proportional wire chambers (PWCs) located at 86.2 deg W, 41.7 deg N at an elevation of 220 m and is adjacent to the campus of the University of Notre Dame. The geometry of the PWCs allows the angles of the charged secondary tracks to be measured to +/- 0.3 deg in each of two orthogonal planes. Muons are 99% differentiated from electron tracks in the 83 square meters of muon detectors.
