Construction of High Resolution Eye (HiRes) Detector Stage I

9322298索科尔斯基建筑公司将开始使用一种新的仪器--高分辨率飞眼(HIRES)，以探测地球上迄今已观测到或预计将被观测到的最高能量的宇宙射线，并确定它们的光谱、角分布和组成。它使用了独特的空气荧光技术，这种技术已经在早期版本的苍蝇眼设备中被证明非常成功。探测器将在犹他州的美国陆军道格威试验场建造，这里是早期的飞眼设备和HIRES原型的所在地。犹他大学小组与来自哥伦比亚大学、伊利诺伊大学和澳大利亚阿德莱德大学的物理学家合作，将在5年内在相距13公里的两个地点分别建造28个反射镜和相关的焦平面光管和电子设备的第一级阵列。他们设想了一个完整的系统，每个站点有54个镜子，将在某个尚未具体说明的时间完成。***

9322298 Sokolsky Construction will start on a new instrument, the High Resolution Fly's Eye (HiRes), to detect cosmic-rays at the very highest energies yet observed or expected to be observed on earth and determine their spectrum, angular distribution and composition. It uses the unique air-florescence technique that has been demonstrated to be very successful in earlier versions of the Fly's Eye devices. The detector will be constructed at the U.S. Army Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah, the site of the earlier Fly's Eye apparatus and a HiRes prototype. The University of Utah group, in collaboration with physicists from Columbia University, the University of Illinois, and the University of Adelaide, Australia, will construct in a 5 year period first stage arrays of 28 mirrors and associated focal-plane phototubes and electronics at each of two sites separated by 13 km. They contemplate a full system of 54 mirrors per site to be completed at some as yet unspecified later time. ***
