Summary
The existence of ultra-high energy cosmic rays remains one of the enigmas of physics:
The discovery of events above the theoretical GZK cut-off only deepens the mystery.
University of Utah scientists pioneered the fluorescence technique. The Fly’s Eye still holds the world’s energy record.
HiRes is the only operational fluorescence detector, and the largest cosmic ray experiment in the world today.
The study of UHE Cosmic Rays is one of the most interesting topics in physics at the start of the new Millenium.
Utah will be a very exciting place to be well into the 21st Century!
