Scientific paper

The KASCADE-Grande experiment, located on site of the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Germany, measures extensive air showers in the energy range between 5 × 1014 and 1018 eV, thus covering the first and the possible second knee of cosmic rays. Main goals of the experiment are investigations of the knee at around 4 × 1015 eV and the verification of the existence of an expected "iron knee at energies around 1017 eV. Furthermore, the energy range between 1017 eV and 1018 eV is of special interest since some theories predict that the transition from galactic to extragalactic cosmic rays already begins at these energies. In this overview the apperatus, its performance, and first results are presented.
