  1. 79. AugerPrime, the Upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory
    Dr Ralph Engel (Institute for Nuclear Physics Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)
    14/10/2016, 09:00

    The data collected with the Pierre Auger Observatory have led to a number of unexpected discoveries. While a strong suppression of the particle flux at the highest energies has been established unambiguously, the dominant physics processes related to this suppression cannot yet be identified. Within the energy range covered by fluorescence detector observations with sufficient statistics, an...

  2. 19. The TAx4 Experiment
    Dr Eiji Kido (Institute for Cosmic Ray Research, University of Tokyo)

    The Telescope Array (TA) experiment consists of a surface detector (SD) array covering 700 km$^2$ in area and three fluorescence detector (FD) stations and explores the origin of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. We found the evidence of a hotspot in the arrival directions of cosmic rays with energies above 57 EeV (Abbasi ${\it et}$ $\it{al.}$ 2014). New SDs and FDs are planned to be constructed...

    TALE, the Telescope Array Low Energy extension is designed to lower the energy threshold to about 10^16.5 eV. TALE has a surface detector(SD) array made up of 103 scintillation counters (40 with 400 m spacing, 36 with 600 m spacing and 27 with 1.2 km spacing) and a Fluorescence Detector (FD) station consisting of ten FD telescopes working with the Telescope Array Middle Drum FD station, which...

  4. 44. The status of the TAIGA project
    Leonid Tkachev (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (RU))

    Gamma-ray astronomy has had a major breakthrough in the last years with the impressive results obtained using ground- and space-based gamma-ray detectors. While it was not possible to pinpoint the highest energy accelerators within our Galaxy, cosmic rays must be accelerated up to energies of 1 PeV or higher. The new TAIGA project is proposed to solve a number of fundamental problems of high...
