Abstract content

GRAPES-3 experiment employs a high-density array of scintillators and a large area tracking muon telescope. The GRAPES collaboration is being expanded with addition of several major facilities. These include a Cerenkov telescope and low frequency dipole array for the measurement of shower energy. Addition of several modules of muon telescopes to cover a larger area, expansion of the scintillator array with greater separation between detectors. Installation of a neutron monitor is also planned. The current status of the experiment would be summarized.
