Members of the Auger Collaboration, with a newly installed scintillation detector. The Pierre Auger Project’s Southern Observatory, located in the high plains of Argentina, will include over a thousand water tanks with photodetectors (like the one seen in this photo) in order to identify high-energy cosmic rays impinging on the Earth.
