Description

The Telescope Array(TA) experiment, located in the western desert of Utah, USA, at $39.3^{\circ}$ north and $112.9^{\circ}$ west, is designed for observation of air showers from extreme high energy cosmic rays. The experiment has a Surface Detector (SD) array surrounded by three Fluorescence Detectors (FD) to enable simultaneous detection of shower particles at ground level and fluorescence photons along the shower track. The telescope array Surface Detector and Fluoresence Detectors started full hybrid observation at mar,2008. Here,we present status and performance of detectors and recent result of observation.
