Description
The Telescope Array (TA) observatory, located in midwest Utah, USA, is
designed to detect ultra high energy cosmic rays whose energy is more than
one EeV. TA mainly consists of two types of detector. The first type is the
atmospheric Fluorescence Detector (FD). TA's three FDs have been in
operation since Fall 2007. The other type of detector is a ground-covering
Surface Detector (SD), which has been operating at TA since Spring 2008. In
addition, the TA-RADAR (TARA) and TA-EUSO associated experiments are
colocated with TA, and the TA Low Energy (TALE) extension recently started
partial operation. I will report some recent general results from TA, and
describe our future plans.
