Scientific paper
The basic experimental information and open questions in cosmic ray studies in the high energy region 1015-1018 eV: knee, end of galactic radiation, transition to the extragalactic sources, are summarized. It is shown that an extension of the experimental information with the quality achieved in the region of the knee (1015-1016 eV) up to 1018 eV is required to complete the measurements of the knee, identify the transition to the extragalactic component, and put the basis for the interpretation of the data at the highest energies. KASCADE-Grande, now operating at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, is shown to fulfill the requirements, both concerning the acceptance and the experimental performances.
