  1. 46. Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray Detection via Radar at the Telescope Array

    Ultra high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) detection has been dominated mainly by two methods: air fluorescence detection and charged particle detectors on the Earth's surface. Due to the steeply falling flux of UHECRs, these detectors must be able to observe very large apertures (thousands to tens of thousands of square kilometers) in order to collect enough statistics over several years to make...

    oral
    A series of ongoing studies of the suitability of the Colorado-Kansas-Oklahoma high plains has been going on since 2010 as a possible location of the next large cosmic ray experiment. These studies have included the necessary features of a flat high altitude plateau, but the next large cosmic ray experiment will also need a vastly greater area than current ongoing experiments, with a final aim...

    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),...

  4. 60. Results from Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays detection with the Pierre Auger Observatory
    Dr Harm Schoorlemmer (University of Hawaii at Manoa)

    Cosmic Rays
    oral
    The Pierre Auger Observatory in Malargüe Argentina, is the largest cosmic ray observatory in the world and is dedicated to the observation of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays. The current exposure reaches nearly 40,000 km^2 sr. The analysis of this unprecedented data set have led to number of major breakthroughs. In this contribution I will discuss the performance of the observatory, new...
