Description
The Tunka-HiSCORE detector is a non-imaging wide-angle EAS Cherenkov array for gamma-ray astronomy above 10 TeV. Time synchronization to nsec level of all sensor stations distributed over several km2 is a key issue for precision reconstruction of shower directions.
For the Tunka-HiSCORE prototype array, a White Rabbit based approach has been installed. We describe hardware components, their specific modifications and the infrastructure developed. We discuss the timing performance, LED-array calibration results and first reconstruction of showers.
