Abstract

The large-scale coordinate-tracking detector for registration of near-horizontal muon flux generated by ultra-high energy cosmic rays is being developed in MEPhI. Detector is based on the multiwire drift chambers from the neutrino experiment at the IHEP U-70 accelerator. Their key advantages are a large effective area (1.85 m2), good coordinate and angular resolution with a small number of measuring channels. Detector will be operated as a part of the experimental complex NEVOD, in particular, its registration system allows joint operation with Cherenkov water detector (CWD) and coordinate detector DECOR. Coordinate tracking unit on the drift chambers (CTUDC) is mounted on the opposite sides of CWD. It consists of two coordinate planes containing 8 drift chambers and represents a prototype of a full-size setup. Registration system of the CTUDC is based on the E-MISS electronics developed in IHEP, its principle of operation is presented.
