Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Telescope Array (TA) cosmic-ray observatory operating in Utah in the U.S.A. found evidence for anisotropy or a cluster (hotspot) that the highest-energy cosmic rays were arriving. To extend the TA observatory and accelerate the data collection pace by this grant, we assemble the surface detectors (SD) and deployed totally 257 SDs. In total, the effective area of SD is 2.5 times TA including TA and we are collecting cosmic-ray data. The TA has been operating during the construction, evidence for different feature of anisotropy was obtained. We are going to reveal the mystery that the TA found with the extended TA.
