Description
The status and capabilities of the KASCADE-Grande extensive air shower experiment are presented. The installation is located at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe and comprises a large collecting area (0.5 km2) electromagnetic array (Grande) operated jointly with the existing KASCADE detectors. KASCADE-Grande will cover the primary energy range 1016 eV < E0 < 1018 eV overlapping with KASCADE around 1016 eV, thus providing continuous information on the primary energy and mass of cosmic rays from 3 · 1014 eV up to 1018 eV. The major goal of the measurements is the unambiguous observation of the 'iron knee' expected in the cosmic ray spectrum at EkFe ∼ 1017 eV
