Thirty-two years in the past at present, The College of Utah first noticed the OMG particle at an experimental observatory known as the Fly’s Eye. Why is it so particular?
Whereas the Oh-My-God particle nonetheless stays probably the most energetic cosmic ray ever detected, a handful of others within the off-the-scales vary have been noticed within the years since, confirming that it wasn’t a miscalculation or instrumentation failure, however in actual fact an actual occasion. For this reason 1,600 big water-filled tanks have been put in in a grid formation throughout 3,000 sq. kilometers of the arid Mendoza area of Argentina. These are the specialised detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory, forming an array designed to seize proof of different extraordinarily high-energy cosmic rays. “The search for figuring out the sources of probably the most energetic particles within the Universe continues,” says Carsten Rott, chair of the Division of Physics & Astronomy on the U. “[But] not solely on the Auger detector in Argentina, but additionally proper right here in Utah with the Telescope Array experiment.”
