High Resolution Fly's Eye

The High-Resolution Fly's Eye cosmic ray observatory has been operating in monocular (stereo) mode for about three years (one year), during which time we have observed extensive airshowers with an integrated aperture of ~ 1500 km2-sr-yr (~ 400 km-sr-yr) at 5×1019 eV. We describe the HiRes experiment and the nitrogen fluorescence technique, and present data taken in both monocular and stereo modes including preliminary energy spectra.

Recent Claim

Results from the High Resolution Fly's Eye (HiRes) experiment and the Pierre Auger Observatory (PAO) on the observation of the Greissen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cutoff in the cosmic ray spectrum are presented. Both experiments observe a cutoff consistent with the GZK predictions with a five and six sigma significance respectively. The nature of the cosmic ray composition near the GZK cutoff is discussed as well as the recent claim of a correlation of the highest energy cosmic rays with AGNs in the Southern sky.

High Resolution Fly's Eye

AbstractA cloud monitor has been developed for use with cosmic ray air shower fluorescence detectors, the High Resolution Fly's Eye and the Pierre Auger Observatory. This is based on an infrared thermopile device which, unlike previous such monitors, requires no moving chopper and is suitable for unattended operation over long periods of time.
