望远镜阵列（TA）实验旨在探测由超高能宇宙射线引起的空气簇射。TA地面粒子探测器（TASD）观测到了几次短时间的空气簇射事件。这些爆发不太可能是由于单次阵雨事件之间的偶然巧合。五年观测的偶然符合期望值小于10（-4）。我们检查了这些突发事件和闪电数据之间的相关性，并发现了时间和位置相关性的证据。爆发事件的某些特征类似于正常的宇宙射线空气簇射，有些则不是。本文报道了观测到的类似空气簇射事件的爆发及其与闪电的关系。(C)2017爱思唯尔B. V.保留所有权利。
The Telescope Array (TA) experiment is designed to detect air showers induced by ultra high energy cosmic rays. The TA ground Surface particle Detector (TASD) observed several short-time bursts of air shower like events. These bursts are not likely due to chance coincidence between single shower events. The expectation of chance coincidence is less than 10(-4) for five-year's observation. We checked the correlation between these bursts of events and lightning data, and found evidence for correlations in timing and position. Some features of the burst events are similar to those of a normal cosmic ray air shower, and some are not. On this paper, we report the observed bursts of air shower like events and their correlation with lightning. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
