Abstract

We describe the main features of the extensive air-shower array devoted to the Study of cosmic-ray primaries and their interactions at primary energies 10 PeV-1 EeV which is starting operation at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe. It exploits the existing KASCADE multi-detector facilities, and two new detectors: Grande and Piccolo, with the respective aims of providing a large acceptance area (0.5 km(2)) and a prompt trigger signal.
