An underground cosmic‐ray neutrinos detector is expected to start operation sometime this summer in a mine near the University of Utah. The installation, an array of counters 6 12×10 meters, will actually count muons produced by interaction of neutrinos with the surrounding rock. The setup is biassed to favor muons coming from below the horizon so as to screen out muons from cosmic or other terrestrial sources. It will be used for investigations in neutrino astronomy.
