H i R e s High Resolution Fly's Eye Located at the University of Utah, the High Resolution Fly's Eye (HiRes) is an experiment to study the highest energy cosmic rays to determine the energy, direction, and chemical composition of the incident particle. Collaborating Institutions Papers and Presentations from...Increased estimates of extragalactic magnetic fields may explain why possible HE CR sources, like AGN M87, do not align with observed CR directions.

The High Resolution Fly's Eye Project University of Adelaide These particles must be produced in extreme environments but so far no theory has been able to convincingly explain where, or how, acceleration takes place. Our group at the University of Adelaide is a long-standing member of the collaboration. HiRes...An active research array for the detection of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. The events CHICOS is designed to observe are single subatomic particles slamming into the Earth's atmosphere with the energy of a brick falling from a rooftop. It is a collaboration of Los Angeles-area high schools, California Institute of Technology, California State University, Northridge, and University of California, Irvine.
