Tóm tắt

A way of observing the Cherenkov light from extensive air showers (EAS) generated by cosmic rays (CRs) with energies above 1016 eV is presented, along with preliminary results from observations. The detector is a wide-angle Cherenkov telescope working in coincidence with scintillation detectors and the integral and differential Cherenkov detectors of the Yakutsk EAS array. The detector is positioned about 2 m away from one of the integral Cherenkov detectors.
