The work is in the field of astrophysics.  The origins and                 structure of the universe will be investigated by studying                      cosmic rays impinging on the earth from outer space.                            Measurements of cosmic ray showers will be made to establish                    and determine the properties of point sources of these rays.  A                 novel detector will be developed and constructed made up,                       primarily, of 64 tracking stations.  Each station consists of                   eight proportional wire chambers each with an area of 1.25                      square meters.  The directions of individual tracks in the                      stations will be used to reconstruct the incident cosmic ray                    direction to 1/4 deg.  This technique has the potential to                      increase the sensitivity, per area covered, by a factor of 16                   compared to cosmic ray arrays of conventional design.
