Abstract
(type = abstract)
Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) produce the most powerful collisions between single particles and atmospheric matter. They have been studied since the early 20th century yet, to this date, there is no clear answer as to the acceleration process responsible for their produc-tion. The Telescope Array Project is an experiment designed to observe the showers of particles produced as by-products of the interactions between UHECRs and the atmosphere. As a hybrid experiment, it currently utilizes 38 fluorescence detectors (FDs) divided between three sites over-looking an array of 507 surface detectors (SDs). The project’s mission is to study the energy, composition and origin of UHECRs using a variety of techniques which may include some or all of the experiment’s apparatus. This document, in particular, is a presentation of the UHECR en-ergy spectrum measured at Telescope Array using the fluorescence detection technique in mo-nocular mode. Only data from the 24 FDs at Black Rock Mesa (BR) and Long Ridge (LR) sta-tions are used here.
