Measurement of the Cosmic Ray Energy Spectrum and Composition from 10^{17} to 10^{18.3} eV Using a Hybrid Fluorescence Technique
T. Abu-Zayyad, K. Belov, D. J. Bird +44
We study the spectrum and average mass composition of cosmic rays with primary energies between 10^{17} eV and 10^{18} eV using a hybrid detector consisting of the High Resolution…
A Multi-Component Measurement of the Cosmic Ray Composition Between 10^{17} eV and 10^{18} eV
T. Abu-Zayyad, K. Belov, D. J. Bird +45
The average mass composition of cosmic rays with primary energies between eV and eV has been studied using a hybrid detector consisting of the High Resolution Fly…
A New Measurement of Cosmic Ray Composition at the Knee
K. Boothby, M. Chantell, K. D. Green +4
The Dual Imaging Cerenkov Experiment (DICE) was designed and operated for making elemental composition measurements of cosmic rays near the knee of the spectrum at several PeV. Her…
Detection of a Cosmic Ray with Measured Energy Well Beyond the Expected Spectral Cutoff due to Cosmic Microwave Radiation
D. J. Bird et al.
We report the detection of a 51-joule (320 +/- 90 EeV) cosmic ray by the Fly's Eye air shower detector in Utah. This is substantially greater than the energy of any previously repo…
