Abstract
The URAN array is designed to study primary cosmic rays in the region of the knee by detecting neutrons produced as a result of interaction between EAS particles and nuclei in the atmosphere or matter near the installation. It consists of 72 detectors mounted on the roofs of experimental buildings and combined into cluster structures of 12 detectors. The registering element is scintillator based on natural boron. The area of each detector is 0.36 m2.
