Abstract

The CYGNUS experiment, located in Los Alamos, NM, has been continuously operating since April 2, 1986. The experiment consists of an air shower array and an associated 44 m2 muon detector; its large size, good angular resolution, muon detection, and low energy threshold make it a unique experiment among those currently operating. The experiment has undergone continuous expansion in several stages since it began operation. The experiment, its expansion, and further plans for the future will be described.
