Description

This work describes a burst detector (BD), consisting of ionization chambers, located at an altitude of 3340 m a.s.l. near Almaty (Kazakhstan).
The high-mountain BD is based on the prototype described earlier in [1]. The experimental data obtained from the prototype of the BD showed a good potential for creating a full-scale setup for studying the cores of extensive air showers. The BD consists of 72 ionization chambers placed perpendicular to each other in two layers. Experimental events are synchronized using a GPS receiver.
At the moment, preliminary experimental data from the BD have been obtained and analyzed.
