The Homestake Large Area Scintillation Detector consists of 140 tons of liquid scintlator in a hollow 8 m x 8 m x 16 m box surrounding the Brookhaven (37)C1 solar neutrino detector. The experiment is located at a depth of 4850 ft. (4200 m.w.e.) in the Homestake Gold Mine. Half of the detector is currently running; the full detector will be taking data by the fall of 1984. An extensive air shower is also currently under construction on the Earth's surface above the underground detector, consisting of 100 scintillators, each 3 sq m, covering approximately 0.8 km sq; the first portion of the surface array will also be providing data this fall. Together, the new Homestake detectors will be used to search for slow, massive magnetic monopoles; study the zenith angle distribution of neutrino-induced muons; search for neutrino bursts from the gravitational collapse of massive stars; measure the multiplicity and transverse momentum distributions of cosmic ray muons; and study the composition of the primary cosmic rays. The underground device and its capabilities as a monopole detector are described, followed by the surface array and the cosmic ray studies.
