KASCADE Cosmic Ray Data Centre

The aim of the project KCDC (KASCADE Cosmic Ray Data Centre) is the installation and establishment of a public data centre for high-energy astroparticle physics based on the data of the KASCADE experiment. KASCADE was a very successful large detector array which recorded data during more than 20 years on site of the KIT-Campus North, Karlsruhe, Germany (formerly Forschungszentrum, Karlsruhe) at 49,1°N, 8,4°O; 110m a.s.l. KASCADE collected within its lifetime more than 1.7 billion events of which some 433.000.000 survived all quality cuts. Initially about 160 million events are available here for public usage.

本项目KCDC（KASCADE宇宙射线数据中心）旨在基于KASCADE实验数据，建立一座公共数据中心，服务于高能天体粒子物理学领域。KASCADE是一个极为成功的庞大探测器阵列，在德国卡尔斯鲁厄KIT-Campus North（原名卡尔斯鲁厄研究中心）的现场，位于北纬49.1度，东经8.4度，海拔110米处，连续20余年记录数据。在其运行期间，KASCADE收集了超过17亿次事件，其中约4.33亿次事件通过了所有质量筛选。目前，约1.6亿次事件可供公众使用。
