Description

We present the results of the simulation of a 10ˆ3−10ˆ4 mˆ2 sampling calorimeter, made of RPCs with analog readout and soil or concrete as aborber. This instrument, deployed at high altitude, would be able to measure cosmic rays in the energy range 1 GeV - 1 PeV, triggered by isolated or quasi-unaccompanied hadrons. A study of optimization of the geometry layout and the electronic readout design to improve the capability of reconstructing energy, size and direction of the hadron will be given.
