Abstract
"HorizonT-Kazakhstan" (HT-KZ) is an extensive air shower new detector system of a new type
to be constructed at Nazarbayev University (NU), Astana, KZ. It is based on the idea of a
previous generation detector that is located at Tyan-Shan high-altitude Science Station of the
Physical Institute of Russian science academy at approximately 3340 meters above the sea level.
It will consist of 8 independent modules distributed on the roofs of NU with 1-2ns time
resolution. The purpose is to register Extensive Air Showers (EAS) coming from a wide range
of zenith angles. The measurements of the time characteristics of the EAS are to be taken
simultaneously at up to eight registration points separated by the distance up to one kilometer.
HT-KZ development is very important step in the EAS research area, especially, in the presence
of the last connected discoveries, such as multi-modal events This article presents the current
system development state, the R&D work of the system modules using the independent particle
detection modules. The distributed DAQ system and event synchronization system progress will
be discussed as well
