Abstract
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) is a new generation hybrid cosmic ray observatory which aims to explore the mystery of the origin of cosmic rays. It consists of one-kilometer square array (KM2A) with 5216 electromagnetic particle detectors and 1188 muon detectors, a water Cherenkov detector array (WCDA) with 3120 cells, a wide field-of-view air Cherenkov telescope array (WFCTA) with 18 telescopes. Physical data taking started in 2019 with one-quarter of the detectors in operation. The portion of detectors in operation increased with time going on. In 2021, the full array was put into scientific operation. The performances of the LHAASO detectors are presented.
