  4. Abstract:
  5. We recorded 600,000 (EASs) from Dec. 2006 to Oct. 2007 with a small array of water Cherenkov detectors. We found zenith and azimuth distributions of these events that confirm previous distributions from array of scintillator detectors. The study on EGRET sources are under consideration, besides, we have improved the size of our detectors to yield the best efficiency. The best shape for each detector will be a tank with 40 cm in diameter and 60 cm in height with a PMT in the center of lid. © 2009 American Institute of Physics
