Brief description A particle detector array for the Murchison Widefield Array. The project will construct a particle detector array for the Murchison Widefield Array radio telescope. The array will identify cosmic ray interactions in the Earth's atmosphere, and trigger radio observations. The outcome will be a new capability to study the origin of the highest-energy particles in nature, cosmic rays, and discover new physical processes at energies unreachable by the Large Hadron Collider.\n\nThe anticipated benefits are the establishment of the Murchison Widefield Array as a world-leading instrument for astroparticle physics; to lay the foundations for future research with the Square Kilometre Array; and to provide answers to long-standing scientific questions of public interest.
