A particle detector array for the Murchison Widefield Array

该项目将为默奇森广域阵列射电望远镜构建一个粒子探测器阵列。该阵列将识别地球大气中的宇宙射线相互作用，并触发无线电观测。结果将是一种新的能力，可以研究自然界中最高能量粒子的起源，宇宙射线，并发现大型强子对撞机无法达到的能量下的新物理过程。

The project will construct a particle detector array for the Murchison Widefield Array radio telescope. The array will identify cosmic ray interactions in the Earth's atmosphere, and trigger radio observations. The outcome will be a new capability to study the origin of the highest-energy particles in nature, cosmic rays, and discover new physical processes at energies unreachable by the Large Hadron Collider. The anticipated benefits are the establishment of the Murchison Widefield Array as a world-leading instrument for astroparticle physics; to lay the foundations for future research with the Square Kilometre Array; and to provide answers to long-standing scientific questions of public interest.
