Telescope Array Project (Central Laser Facility)

Telescope Array Project (Central Laser Facility)
Delta, Utah (UT), US
The Telescope Array project is an international collaboration. The experiment is designed to observe air showers induced by ultra-high-energy cosmic ray using a combination of ground array and air-fluorescence techniques.

Each FD telescope consists of a primary mirror (made up of 18 smaller hexagonal mirror segments) and a camera. The cameras are made up of 256 PMTs (photomultiplier tubes) which are sensitive to the ultra violet light generated by a cosmic ray air shower.
