Agnetta, B. Biondo, O. Catalano, J. Linsley, A. Mangano, L. Scarsi, M. Lawrence, J. Lloyd-Evans, P. Odgen, M. Patel, R. Reid, A. Watson] Summary: A new type of extensive air shower array-telescope is being constructed, close to the GREX scintillator array at Haverah Park. The design of the new instrument is based on identification and measurement of individual shower particles by means of pattern recognition techniques applied to data from LST chambers above and below a thin sheet of high-Z material. Air showers will be detected in the range from 1014 eV to 1018 eV. The directions of the shower primaries will be reconstructed with an accuracy of a few tenths of a degree using triangulation between tracks of detected shower particles: >1 GeV electrons, photons and muons. Particle densities measured at the detector locations will be used to calculate shower sizes and core locations. Information about the height of production of the high-energy secondaries will be obtained for each shower. This information will be taken into account in calculating the primary energies. It will be used together with the observed muon content (ratio of muons to all particles), to draw conclusions about the nature of the primary particles.
