Abstract
The KGF air shower array, with 7 muon detectors and 61 particle scintillators, is ideally suited for UHE gamma ray studies. Using the fact that the thickness of the shower disc varies with distance from the core, we have been able to obtain 0.5° accuracy in angular resolution. A preliminary look at the Muon data shows that the Cosmic Ray background can be considerably lessened using the muon information.
