KASCADE-Grande

KASCADE-Grande is a scientific experiment designed to study cosmic rays—high-energy particles from space that strike the Earth's atmosphere. Located in Germany, it detects the particles created when these cosmic rays interact with our atmosphere, helping scientists understand their origins and properties. By analyzing these particle showers, researchers gain insights into the most energetic phenomena in the universe, such as supernovae or black holes. The experiment uses an array of detectors spread over a large area to capture and measure these air showers, advancing our knowledge of cosmic radiation and the universe's fundamental processes.
