摘要
The ARGO-YBJ experiment is designed for the detection of Extensive Air Showers (EAS) in the primary energy range 100GeV-10TeV. Its full-coverage feature allows to lower the energy threshold about one order of magnitude with respect to sampling EAS detectors. Here the performance of the RPC array is described and the current status of the experiment is presented. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
