Description

We discuss the feasibility of a telescope consisting in a sampling array for extensive air showers measure combined with a muon tracking device. The sampling array will extend over a surface of ∼ 106 m2. The telescope should be performed with a combination of streamer tubes and resistive plates counters and would became the most powerfull device to study high energy neutrinos and gamma rays astronomy as well as cosmic ray physics in the highest energy (∼ 1016 eV) region.
