| contents | Highlights from the Telescope Array Experiment H. Sagawa Telescope Array Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas high Ultra Spectrum Anisotropy Composition The Telescope Array (TA) is the largest experiment in the Northern Hemisphere currently studying the origin and nature of ultra-hi gh-energy cosmic rays above∼10 18 eV by measuring their energy spectrum, mass composition, and arrival directions. It is located in the western desert of central Utah, USA. The TA detector consists of a surface array of 507 scintillation counters, deployed on a square grid of 1.2-km spacing that covers approximately 700 km 2 , and 38 fluorescence telescopes located at three sites looking over the surface array. The TA commenced hybrid observation with both sets of detectors in 2008. Here, we present recent results from these 5 years of data and outline our ongoing and near future plans. 2014 artículo científico 0103-9733 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=46432476018 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=464 Brazilian Journal of Physics application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Física Brazilian Journal of Physics (Brasil) Num.5 Vol.44 |
