| Abstract: | The Telescope Array (TA) cosmic rays detector located in the State
of Utah in the United States is the largest ultra high energy cosmic rays
detector in the northern hemisphere. The Telescope Array Low Energy Extension
(TALE) fluorescence detector (FD) was added to TA in order to lower the
detector's energy threshold, and has succeeded in measuring the cosmic rays
energy spectrum down to PeV energies, by making use of the direct Cherenkov
light produced by air showers. In this contribution we present the results
of a measurement of the cosmic-ray energy spectrum using TALE FD data
collected over a period of ∼7 years. The data set used for this
measurement is the same one used for the mass composition measurement that is
presented, as a separate contribution, at this conference. The energy
spectrum shows features consistent with the "knee" and the "second knee"; a
similar result to our previous energy spectrum publication. This time
using a different hadronic model, and different event selection criteria as
explained in the text of this proceeding. |
