Abstract

The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) project is a multipurpose project. The main scientific tasks can be summarized as follows: (1) searching for galactic cosmic ray origins through gamma ray source detection above 30TeV; (2) wide field of view survey for gamma ray sources at energies higher than 100GeV; (3) energy spectrum measurements for individual cosmic ray species from 30TeV to 10PeV. To target above tasks, a complex detector array is designed. This paper describes the progress on the research and development of all kind of detectors. Construction and operation of a prototype detector array at Tibet site with 4300m a.s.l. are also presented.
