EMMA (Experiment with Multi-Muon Array) is an underground detector array designed
for cosmic-ray composition studies around the knee energy (or ∼ 1 − 10 PeV). It operates at
the shallow depth in the Pyh¨asalmi mine, Finland. The array consists of eleven independent
detector stations ∼ 15 m2
each. Currently seven stations are connected to the DAQ and the
rest will be connected within the next few months. EMMA will determine the multiplicity, the
lateral density distribution and the arrival direction of high-energy muons event by event. The
preliminary estimates concerning its performance together with an example of measured muon
multiplicities are presented.
