[PDF][PDF] Summary of UHECR composition measurements by the Telescope Array Experiment

J Belz - The 34th International Cosmic Ray Conference, 2016 - pos.sissa.it
The precise composition of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR), coupled with their
energy spectrum and arrival directions, can inform us as to their sources, acceleration …

Extragalactic propagation of ultrahigh energy cosmic-rays

D Allard - Astroparticle Physics, 2012 - Elsevier
In this paper we review the extragalactic propagation of ultrahigh energy cosmic-ray
(UHECR). We present the different energy loss processes of protons and nuclei, and their …

Implications to sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays from their arrival distribution

H Takami, K Sato - Astroparticle Physics, 2009 - Elsevier
We estimate the local number density of sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs)
based on the statistical features of their arrival direction distribution. We calculate the arrival …

Study of UHECR Composition Using Telescope Array's Middle Drum Detector and Surface Array in Hybrid Mode

JP Lundquist - 34th International Cosmic Ray Conference 2015, 2016 - repozitorij.ung.si
The composition of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR's) is important for the unsolved
question of their origin. The GZK cutoff [1],[2] has been seen by a number of experiments …

Ultra high energy cosmic rays: The disappointing model

R Aloisio, V Berezinsky, A Gazizov - Astroparticle Physics, 2011 - Elsevier
We develop a model for explaining the data of Pierre Auger Observatory (Auger) for ultra
high energy cosmic rays (UHECR), in particular, the mass composition being steadily …

Observations and implications of the ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays

M Nagano, AA Watson - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2000 - APS
The authors define “ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays”(UHECRs) as those cosmic rays with
energies above 10 18 eV. It had been anticipated that there would be a cutoff in the energy …

The imprint of large-scale structure on the ultrahigh-energy cosmic-ray sky

C Ding, N Globus, GR Farrar - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are atomic nuclei from space with vastly higher
energies than any other particles ever observed. Their origin and chemical composition …

Recent results from the Telescope Array experiment

H Sagawa - … Symposium on the Recent Progress of Ultra …, 2011 - ui.adsabs.harvard.edu
Abstract The Telescope Array (TA) is the largest detector in the northern hemisphere to
explore the origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR). Here we present the status …

The pierre auger project: an observatory for the highest energy cosmic rays

CK Guerard - Nuclear Physics B-Proceedings Supplements, 1999 - Elsevier
Recent data from the Akeno [1] Giant Air Shower Array seem to statistically support the idea
that the cosmic Ray spectrum does extend beyond the GZK limit. The challenge is set for …

Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Rays: A Galactic Origin?

D Eichler, N Globus, R Kumar… - The Astrophysical Journal …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
It is suggested that essentially all UHECRs we detect, including those at the highest
energies, originate in our Galaxy. It is shown that even if the density of sources decreases …
