The performance of the TA4 surface detector array: 4.3 years of the first-half expansion
Telescope Array Collaboration, R. U. Abbasi, T. Abu-Zayyad +126
The Telescope Array (TA) experiment aims to reveal the origin of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) by observing air showers using surface detectors (SDs), which spread over an…
Searching for EeV photons with Telescope Array Surface Detector and neural networks
Telescope Array Collaboration, R. U. Abbasi, T. Abu-Zayyad +126
Ultra-high-energy photons play an important role in probing astrophysical models and beyond-Standard-Model scenarios. We report updated limits on the diffuse photon flux using Tele…
Mechanism for reduction of the afterpulsing rate of PMTs
Kai Morita, Mitsunari Takahashi, Habib Ahammad Mondal +7
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are used in Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) to detect Cherenkov light produced by air showers induced by gamma rays in the atmosphere.…
Cosmic ray mass composition measurement in the energy range from eV to eV observed with the TALE hybrid detector
Telescope Array Collaboration, R. U. Abbasi, T. Abu-Zayyad +126
We report on the cosmic ray mass composition measured by the Telescope Array Low-energy Extension (TALE) hybrid detector. The TALE detector consists of a fluorescence detector (FD)…
Competition between Increasing and Decreasing Effects of the Afterpulsing Rate of PMTs during Night-Sky Observations
Takuto Kiyomoto, Tsutomu Nagayoshi, Shunsuke Sakurai +13
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) have been widely used in imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs). The Large-Sized Telescopes (LSTs) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observato…
Development and Quality Control of PMT Modules for the Large-Sized Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
T. Saito, M. Takahashi, Y. Inome +56
The camera of the Large-Sized Telescopes (LSTs) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) consists of 1855 pixels that are grouped into 265 high-performance photomultipli…
