From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MARIACHI, the Mixed Apparatus for Radar Investigation of Cosmic-rays of High Ionization, is an apparatus for the detection of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECR) via bi-static radar using VHF transmitters. Its inventors hope that it will detect UHECR over much larger areas than possible with prior detection apparatuses, and that it will also detect ultra high energy neutrino flux. The ground array detectors are scintillator arrays that are built and operated by high school students and teachers.<ref>Takai, Helio (2006-04-26).
