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…
Decadal upgrade strategy for KAGRA toward post-O5 gravitational-wave astronomy
KAGRA Collaboration, T. Akutsu, M. Ando +150
The KAGRA Collaboration has investigated a ten-year upgrade strategy for the KAGRA gravitational wave detector, considering a total of 14 upgrade options that vary in mirror mass,…
Identification of Noise-Associated Glitches in KAGRA O3GK with Hveto
T. Akutsu, M. Ando, M. Aoumi +148
Transient noise ("glitches") in gravitational wave detectors can mimic or obscure true signals, significantly reducing detection sensitivity. Identifying and excluding glitch-conta…
Isotropy of cosmic rays beyond eV favors their heavy mass composition
Telescope Array Collaboration, R. U. Abbasi, Y. Abe +138
We report an estimation of the injected mass composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) at energies higher than 10 EeV. The composition is inferred from an energy-depend…
Mass composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays from distribution of their arrival directions with the Telescope Array
Telescope Array Collaboration, R. U. Abbasi, Y. Abe +138
We use a new method to estimate the injected mass composition of ultrahigh cosmic rays (UHECRs) at energies higher than 10 EeV. The method is based on comparison of the energy-depe…
Observation of Declination Dependence in the Cosmic Ray Energy Spectrum
The Telescope Array Collaboration, R. U. Abbasi, T. Abu-Zayyad +122
We report on an observation of the difference between northern and southern skies of the ultrahigh energy cosmic ray energy spectrum with a significance of . We use meas…
