KASCADE, which stands for "Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) KASCADE Experiment," is a large research project aimed at studying cosmic rays. Located in Karlsruhe, Germany, the experiment was designed to investigate the properties and composition of high-energy cosmic rays, which are subatomic particles from outer space that strike the Earth's atmosphere. The KASCADE experiment operated from 1996 until around 2013 and employed an extensive array of detectors to measure cosmic rays.
