The Chicago Air Shower Array (CASA)
An experiment to detect energetic cosmic rays and gamma-rays. The goal was to measure the location, arrival direction, and energy of incoming cosmic rays and gamma-rays with energies above 10^14 eV, and to apply this information to investigate the origin cosmic rays and the nature of astrophysical source of the most energetic sources of gamma-rays. The project is no longer active, but some results (articles) are available.

CHICOS - California HIgh school Cosmic ray ObServatory
An active research array for the detection of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. The events CHICOS is designed to observe are single subatomic particles slamming into the Earth's atmosphere with the energy of a brick falling from a rooftop. It is a collaboration of Los Angeles-area high schools, California Institute of Technology, California State University, Northridge, and University of California, Irvine.
