摘要：

An air-shower array consisting of 49 open huts with photomultiplier tubes viewing the night sky over a solid angle of about 1 steradian is described. The array is operating in conjunction with the HEGRA installation, The main objectives of the experiment are VHE to UHE gamma-ray astronomy and a determination of the chemical composition of cosmic rays. The design principles, construction and performance in angular resolution, energy threshold and determination of shower parameters are discussed.
