HiRes Stereo and Monocular Spectra
Abstract content
We present results on the ultra-high energy cosmic ray spectrum as measued by the High Resolution Fly's Eye Experiment. The spectrum is analyzed in two different ways: monocular reconstruction and stereo reconstruction. The monocular spectrum has the highest statistics while the stereo spectrum has the best resolution.The monocular spectrum has a threshold of .1 EeV while the stereo spectrum's energy threshold is near 1 EeV. Both spectra show strong evidence of structure, including the ankle, near 3-5 EeV and the GZK cutoff near 60 EeV. In particular, the GZK cutoff has been clearly observed at the greater than five sigma level.
