59. TA Spectrum Summary

Dmitri Ivanov (University of Utah)

11/10/2016, 09:10

This work summarizes the cosmic ray energy spectrum measurement by the Telescope Array Experiment (TA) in the energy range from 4 PeV to over 100 EeV. The TA is a hybrid detector that uses 3 air fluorescence detectors (FDs) overlooking a ground array of scintillation counters of 1200 m spacing. In May 2016, TA has collected 8 years of data. The TA low energy extension (TALE) extends the energy...

39. Measurement of the energy spectrum of cosmic rays with the Pierre Auger Observatory

The flux of cosmic rays has been measured with unprecedented precision at the Pierre Auger Observatory. We report on the recent update of the all-sky flux of cosmic rays above $3\times {10}^{17}$eV obtained by combining four independent high-quality data sets collected for more than 10 years, with a total exposure exceeding 50,000 km${}^2$sr yr. These measurements are based on data from the...

37. Auger-TA energy spectrum working group report

Dr Valerio Verzi (INFN Roma Tor Vergata)

11/10/2016, 09:55

The energy spectrum joint working group was re-established with membership from the Pierre Auger Observatory (Auger) and the Telescope Array experiment (TA). In-depth discussions on the energy determination and systematic uncertainties in the two experiments were made, resulting in a detailed comparison of the UHECR energy spectra observed in the southern and the northern hemispheres. The flux...
