Telescope Array 10 Year Fluorescence Detector Monocular Analysis

ORAL

Abstract

The Telescope Array (TA) cosmic ray observatory in Millard County, Utah has passed 10 years of fluorescence detector operation, collecting information on the highest energy particles in the universe interacting with Earth's atmosphere. With the increased statistics of over 10 years of data, TA is also working on reducing the systematic uncertainties of cosmic ray analyses. One such systematic uncertainty is the identification of data with good weather using the fluorescence detector's field-of-view snapshots in a Recurrent Convolution Neural Network (RCNN) classification model. TA is working to update the monocular energy spectrum with 10 years of data with a better understanding of these systematic errors.
