Description
The Telescope Array (TA) Experiment is the largest experiment studying
ultrahigh energy cosmic rays in the northern hemisphere. TA is a hybrid
experiment, which means it consists of a large surface array of scintillation
counters plus three fluorescence detectors overlooking the surface array. TA
has been collecting data for about three years. Measurements of the spectrum
and composition of cosmic rays between about 1 and 100 EeV will be
presented, and searches for anisotropy in their arrival directions will be
described.
