The UMC extensive air shower array
Description
In this paper the Utah-Michigan-Chicago array addresses the need for greater measurement sensitivity in searches for ultra-high energy gamma rays. Results from the Utah-Michigan experiment demonstrate the power of muon rejection. Even if photons interact in unconventional ways, the combination of CASA and the large muon array will measure these effects
