Abstract

As a non-imaging wide-angle Cherenkov air shower detector array with an area of up to 100km2, the HiSCORE (Hundred⁎i Square km Cosmic ORigin Explorer) detector concept allows measurements of gamma rays and cosmic rays in an energy range of 10TeV up to 1EeV. In the framework of the Tunka-HiSCORE project we have started measurements with a small prototype array, and planned to build an engineering array (1km2) on the site of the Tunka experiment in Siberia. The first results and the most important hardware components are presented here.
