Scientific paper

The ARGO-YBJ experiment, currently under construction at the YangBaJing Laboratory (Tibet, P.R. China, 4300 m a.s.l.), could be upgraded with a large (~ 2500 m2) muon detector both to extend the sensitivity to γ-ray sources to energies greater than ~ 20 TeV and to perform a cosmic ray primary composition study. In this paper we present an evaluation of the rejection power for proton-induced showers achievable with the upgraded ARGO-YBJ detector. Minimum detectable γ-ray fluxes are calculated for different experimental setups.
