AbstraktAbstract

CZELTA (CZEch Large-area Time coincidence Array) is a sparse network of stations for the detection of cosmic rays with energy higher than 1014 eV. The detector system covers large area in the Czech Republic and is related to the similar experiment ALTA in Canada. The network is designed to study non-random component of cosmic rays over large distances. We present the design of the detection system, obtained results, and our outreach activities connected to the project.
