Description

The Telescope Array (TA) experiment is being built in Millard County, Utah. In its basic configuration it will combine a scintillator ground array with HiRes-type fluorescence detectors for the highest energy cosmic rays in the northern hemisphere. Beyond the aims of this basic configuration we will discuss plans to expand TA's reach towards lower energies for systematic studies of cosmic ray spectrum and composition
