Abstract

A new family of high accuracy multitracking detectors called TRASGOs, sensitive to both electrons and muons is proposed for multidisciplinary cosmic ray research. The corresponding tools for monitoring, tracking, event reconstruction and analysis are being developed. The present status of the project is presented and discussed.
