Nazarbayev University, School of Science and Technology.http://nur.nu.edu.kz/handle/123456789/2396A nature of Ultra-high energy Cosmic Ray is one of the remaining open topics in the field of High Energy Physics. The modern detector systems are being designed and constructed to study this phenomenon. "Horizon-T" that is experiment located at Tien Shan high-altitude Science Station (TSHASS) near Almaty, Kazakhstan, is one of such systems, and there is work underway for a novel detector system "HorizonT-KZ" (HT-KZ). The HT-KZ is being developed by Nazarbayev University (NU) in collaboration with TSHASS and is planned to be installed here, at NU, Astana, Kazakhstan. A simulation of a single detector module that is aimed to determine the optimal detector arrangement and parameters is a significant part of the R&D process. A description and a discussion of the results of the simulation runs are presented in this thesis.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United Stateshorizon-THorizonT-KZcosmic rayscosmic rays experimentsBachelor's thesis
