The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the world's next generation high energy gamma ray observatory, aiming to provide an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity over present instruments, together with a broader energy coverage (below 50 GeV to over 100 TeV) as well as significantly improved resolution (0.2 deg). To achieve these goals will require two distributed arrays, one in...

CODALEMA is one of the experiments devoted to the detection of ultra high energy cosmic rays by the radio method.
So far, the device, installed at the radio-observatory of Nançay (France), has used in coincidence a ground particle detector array and an antenna array, connected by cable to a central acquisition room, for sampling a surface of 0.25 km2.
Since the early 2011, the experience...

Since the renaissance of this detection technique in 2003 enormous achievements could be reached. This concerns both, improvements of the experimental sensitivities and a better theoretical understanding of the emission process. This led to an increase of interest in the field worldwide with a bulk of new experimental efforts as well as a couple of new approaches for the Monte Carlo...

The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory is a new very high energy water Cherenkov gamma ray telescope, now under construction at 4100 m altitude at Sierra Negra, Mexico. Due to its increased altitude, larger surface area and improved design, HAWC will be about 15 times more sensitive than its predecessor, Milagro. With its wide field of view and high duty factor, HAWC will be an...

Aiming at wide field of view survey for sources of gamma rays at energies above 100 GeV, search for cosmic ray origins among those gamma ray sources at energies above 30 TeV and energy spectrum measurements for individual cosmic ray species from 30 TeV to 10 PeV, a Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) project with a complex array of many types of detectors is proposed....

The Pierre Auger Observatory was designed to study the extensive air showers generated by Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs). It consists of 1600 water Cherenkov detectors spread over 3000 km2 viewed by 24 fluorescence telescopes. The implementation of these two complementary techniques together is known as the hybrid detection and makes Auger unique. The combination of a large ground...
