For the type of musical group, see Mariachi. MARIACHI, the Mixed Apparatus for Radar Investigation of Cosmic-rays of High Ionization, is an apparatus for the detection of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECR) via bi-static radar using VHF transmitters. Its inventors hope that it will detect UHECR over much larger areas than possible with prior detection apparatuses, and that it will also detect ultra high energy neutrino flux. The ground array detectors are scintillator arrays that are built and operated by high school students and teachers.

This article describes the Mexcian musical genre and ensemble; for the apparatus for the detection of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, see MARIACHI. Mariachi is a type of musical group, originally from Mexico. Usually a mariachi consists of at least two violins, two trumpets, one Spanish guitar, one vihuela (a high-pitched, five-string guitar) and one guitarrón (a small-scaled acoustic bass). They dress in silver studded charro outfits with wide-brimmed hats. The original Mariachi were Mexican street musicians or buskers.[1] Because of their great popularity many Mariachi are professional entertainers doing paid gigs in the mainstream entertainment industry. One of the best known mariachi singers is Vicente Fernandez.
