Map of a HiSPARC detector inside the KASCADE experiment

The KASCADE experiment is a 200 × 200 m array detecting cosmic rays. It consists of 252 detector stations spaced 13 m apart and has taken data from 1996 to 2009. It continued to host a few guest experiments, including LOPES, TAUWER and HiSPARC, until early 2013. This map shows the layout of KASCADE and the location of the HiSPARC station. This figure is a minor revision of the one included in [my PhD thesis](http://dx.doi.org/10.3990/1.9789036534383).
