The first full-scale prototypes of the fluorescence detector array of single-pixel telescopes
Original language description
The Fluorescence detector Array of Single-pixel Telescopes (FAST) is a design concept for a next-generation UHECR observatory, addressing the requirements for a large-area, low-cost detector suitable for measuring the properties of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), having energies exceeding 30 EeV, with an unprecedented aperture. We have developed a full-scale prototype consisting of four 200 mm diameter photo-multiplier tubes at the focus of a segmented mirror of 1.6 m in diameter. In October 2016, September 2017, and September 2018 we installed three such prototypes at the Black Rock Mesa site of the Telescope Array experiment in central Utah, USA. All three telescopes have been steadily taking data since installation. We report on the design and installation of these prototypes, and present some preliminary results, including measurements of artificial light sources, distant ultraviolet lasers, and UHECRs.n
