Measurements of PeV air showers: The KASCADE-Grande Experiment — •Andreas Haungs for the KASCADE-Grande collaboration — Institut für Kernphysik, Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Germany

KASCADE-Grande is an extensive air shower experiment co-located to the original KASCADE site at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Germany. The multi-detector system allows to investigate the energy spectrum, composition, and anisotropies of cosmic rays in the energy range up to 1 EeV. An overview on the performance of the apparatus, shower reconstruction methods, and first results of the Grande set-up as well as an update of the KASCADE data analyses will be given.
