We have measured the cosmic ray spectrum above 10(17.2) eV using the two air-fluorescence detectors of the High Resolution Fly's Eye observatory operating in monocular mode. We describe the detector, phototube, and atmospheric calibrations, as well as the analysis techniques for the two detectors. We fit the spectrum to a model consisting of galactic and extragalactic sources.
我们使用高分辨率蝇眼天文台的两个工作在单眼模式下的空气荧光探测器,测量了能量高于10(17.2)电子伏特的宇宙射线能谱。我们描述了探测器、光电管和大气校准,以及两个探测器的分析技术。我们将能谱拟合到一个由银河系和河外来源组成的模型。
