Showers of particles produced by cosmic rays striking the upper atmosphere allow the study of physics at energies much higher than those that can be created in any man made accelerator. Air shower telescopes are used to detect these particles. Each shower can produce an extensive cascade of particles covering a large area. Hence a very large array of photomultipliers are used for maximum coverage. These telescopes are normally deployed in remote parts of the world where there is an absence of light pollution.
