The California HIgh scho ol Cosmic ray ObServatory (CHICOS) is a large area (˜ 400 km2 ) ground array for the study of ultra-high energy cosmic rays in the Los Angeles area. The main scientific goals of CHICOS are to study the flux, energy spectrum, and angular direction of cosmic rays at energies E > 1019 eV and to demonstrate a new strategy for fielding huge future arrays using urban infrastructure. At present there are 43 CHICOS sites operating; a total of 90 sites will be deployed and operational within the next year, resulting in an aperture of about 500 km2 -sr at 1020 eV.
