Abstract

The ARGO-YBJ detector, installed at the Yangbajing Cosmic Ray Laboratory (Tibet, China), at 4300m a.s.l., is a full coverage layer of Resistive Plate Counters (RPCs) covering an area of about 5800 m2. The high space-time granularity, the full-coverage technique and the high altitude location will make this detector a unique device for deeply investigating a large variety of astrophysical phenomena. In this work, the capabilities of ARGO-YBJ in imaging and reconstructing in detail some of the main atmospheric shower features will be presented.
