Abstract
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory ( LHAASO ) ( Fig. 1 ) is located at Mt. Haizi (4410 m a.s.l., 600 g/cm2, 29◦ 21’ 27.56” N, 100◦ 08’ 19.66” E) in Daocheng, Sichuan province, P.R. China. LHAASO consists of 1.3 km2 array ( KM2A ) of electromagnetic particle detectors ( ED ) and muon detectors ( MD ), a water Cherenkov detector array ( WCDA ) with a total active area of 78,000 m2, 18 wide field-of-view air Cherenkov telescopes (WFCTA ) and a newly proposed electron-neutron detector array ( ENDA ) covering 10,000 m2. Each detector is synchronized with all the other through a clock synchronization network based on the White Rabbit protocol. The observatory includes an IT center which comprises the data acquisition system and trigger system, the data analysis facility. In the following of this Chapter, all the above mentioned components of LHAASO will be briefly described, together with infrastructure which is a fundamental component of the LHAASO observatory.
