210. Initial results of a direct comparison between the Surface Detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory and the Telescope ArrayR. Takeishi, Andrej Filipčič, Gašper Kukec Mezek, Ahmed Saleh, Samo Stanič, Marta Trini, Darko Veberič, Serguei Vorobiov, Lili Yang, Danilo Zavrtanik, Marko Zavrtanik, 2015, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: The Pierre Auger Observatory (Auger) in Mendoza, Argentina and
the Telescope Array (TA) in Utah, USA aim at unraveling the
origin and nature of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR).
At present, there appear to be subtle differences between Auger
and TA results and interpretations. Joint working groups have
been established and have already reported preliminary
findings. From an experimental standpoint, the Surface
Detectors (SD) of both experiments make use of different
detection processes not equally sensitive to the components of
the extensive air showers making it to the ground. In particular, the muonic component of the shower measured at
ground level can be traced back to the primary composition,
which is critical for understanding the origin of UHECRs.
In order to make direct comparisons between the SD detection
techniques used by Auger and TA, a joint SD experimental
research program is being developed. In the first phase,
two Auger SD stations were deployed at the TA Central Laser
Facility to compare station-level responses. This paper
concentrates on the results obtained with the first Auger SD
station (an “Auger North” design), which has been operating
since October 2014. The second Auger SD station, identical to
the ones being operated at Auger in Argentina (an “Auger South”
design), was just deployed in June 2015. The second phase of
this research program will be to co-locate six Auger North SD
stations with TA stations in the field to compare event-level
responses.
