A deep-underground muon-bundle observatory (DUMBO) is proposed for construction at 700 m depth near Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. The DUMBO design calls for two parallel 3.6 x 21.6-m stacks of multiwire proportional chambers in adjacent mine tunnels (synthesizing a larger-area detector) and a 121-station surface EAS array with variable density to accommodate shower energies in the 100-TeV and 10-PeV ranges. The aims of DUMBO include determining the nuclear composition of cosmic rays, ultrahigh-energy gamma-ray astronomy, and characterizing the point sources of muons observed in recent proton-decay experiments; the physics of these processes and the detector capabilities they imply are discussed. Graphs, diagrams, and drawings are provided.
