{wiki=Washington_Large_Area_Time_Coincidence_Array}
The Washington Large Area Time Coincidence Array (WALTA) is a scientific experiment designed primarily for astrophysics research, particularly in the study of cosmic ray and gamma-ray astrophysics. It's part of the efforts to detect high-energy cosmic rays and other high-energy particles from astronomical events. WALTA features an array of detectors spread over a large area, which enables it to capture coincident signals from cosmic events that may generate multiple muons or other particles that hit the ground simultaneously.
