Abstract

The Telescope Array (TA) experiment detects air showers induced by extremely high energy cosmic rays in the middle west of Utah, USA. The TA experiment consists of two different types of detector such as atmospheric fluorescence detectors (FDs) and surface array particle detectors (SDs). The SD observation started in March 2008. This paper describes the search for the small scale clusters from 850-days TA SD data by auto-correlation method for several energy thresholds. As a result, there is no indication of small scale clusters by TA SD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The Telescope Array(TA) experiment located at western desert in Utah USA (N39.3,W112.9) is designed for observation of air shower from extreme high energy cosmic rays. The TA detector consists of 2 types of detector to enable a cross check on systematic difference from the two main methods of observation for the energy region. One is a Fluorescence detector (FD) for detecting fluorescence light from air shower and another is surface detector (SD) array for detecting air shower particles at ground level. Each SD consists of 2 layers of plastic scintillator with 3m2 of surface and more sensitive to electromagnetic component in air shower. The full operation using 3FD stations and full SD array has started. Here we present the updated status of Telescope Array experiment. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
