Scientific paper

We describe an extensive air shower array (GRAND™) ** which is currently under construction. It is dedicated to recording ultrahigh energy (UHE) gamma rays from stellar point sources by measuring the angle of charged secondaries with proportional wire chamber tracking detectors. This new method is designed to give 0.25° angular resolution for the primary gamma direction with 100 detected secondary electrons. These same tracking detectors make possible a new, inexpensive detector for muons thereby enabling the rejection of muon-rich hadronic shower background.
