To learn more about the origin and the composition of cosmic rays at high energies, the detectorsystem KASCADE, now under construction, was proposed in the Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe. KASCADE will measure simultaneously many parameters of extensive air showers, which are produced by cosmic ray particles in the atmosphere. An important part of this experimental setup is a detector array for the electromagnetic and the muonic component of the showers. With these informations characteristic parameters for each shower can be reconstructed. For the detection of electrons and photons, a liquid scintillation detector, which has a large effective area of 0.78 m2 as well as a very good time resolution of σt = 0.77 ns and an energy resolution of σE = 25%/√E at an energy loss of 7.8 MeV, was developed in extensive prototype studies. With 64 of these detectors a prototyp array was built, which corresponds to 5% of the planned array.
