In 2014, the creation of a new cluster type shower array NEVOD-EAS was started around the Cherenkov Water Detector NEVOD and coordinate detector DECOR. The shower array will allow to determine the size, axis position and arrival direction of EAS registered by these detectors. In 2015-2016, the NEVOD-EAS central part, including 4 clusters of scintillation detector stations located on an area of about 10 4 m 2 , was deployed and started operation. This article presents the description of the NEVOD-EAS arrangement, detecting elements and data acquisition system, as well as the first results on EAS detection.

The array for investigations of EAS neutron component

Abstract. The neutron component of EAS has not been practically studied for many years. Creation of the neutron detector arrays PRISMA-32 and PRISMA-YBJ demonstrated the effectiveness of such investigations. It is important to underline that recording the EAS neutron component is carried out over the whole array area. Development of a new larger scale neutron detector array (URAN) in MEPhI will continue these studies. During the construction of the URAN array, a new design of en-detectors based on the scintillator with natural boron and new electronics was developed. The use of new electronics with a switchable sampling rate allows one to reach EAS fast timing accuracy up to 10 ns. The en-detectors of the URAN are located on the roofs of the buildings. The sensitive area of each detector is 0.36 m 2 , while the array's starting area is ∼ 10 3 m 2 . Total number of the initial array detectors is 72. They are subdivided into 6 independent clusters each of 12 en-detectors, connected with the central data acquisition station.
