Description

The origin of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays is still an open question, requiring next-generation observation technology. The CRAFFT project is developing a next-generation fluorescence detector designed for low-cost and fully automated observations with a simple structure. In this study, we report the successful detection of ultra-high-energy cosmic ray air showers using a prototype telescope and ongoing tests for full automation. This presentation provides an overview of the CRAFFT project, highlighting hardware development for autonomous observation, testing of the self-operating system, and network testing for data collection.
