AbstractAbstract
[en] A new type of extensive-air-shower (EAS) array is described that achieves a low energy threshold, large area, high duty factor and large muon coverage. By placing a regularly-spaced grid of phototubes just below the surface of a shallow pond, the Cherenkov light of particles in an air shower striking the water can be detected, resulting in a primary energy threshold of less than 1 TeV. This highly sensitive array can thus be used to span the gap of information between the existing air Cherenkov techniques at 1 TeV and the existing EAS arrays at 100 TeV. 5 refs., 3 figs
