New Technology and Next generation of Experiments
The Telescope Array (TA) has an array of surface detectors (SD) 700 km^2 in area and three fluorescence telescope stations (FD) to explore the origin of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays.
We found evidence for the hotspot of arrival directions of the highest-energy cosmic rays above 5.7x10^19 eV, of which size is about 20 degrees in radius. To confirm what the origin of the hotspot is, we...

The Pierre Auger Observatory have been taking data since 2004 and with the complete set of detectors since 2008, with an efficiency above 95%, with very low downtime. Our accurancy in the results have had a deep impact on the area of ultra high energy cosmic rays and new questions and open challenges call for an upgrade of the Observatory.
The planned detector upgrade is presented and the...

The DAMPE experiment (DArk Matter Particle Explorer) is one of the five satellite missions in the frame- work of the Strategic Pioneer Research Program in Space Science of the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS). DAMPE is a powerful space telescope which has as main scientific objective the identification of possible Dark Matter signatures thanks to the capability to detect electrons and photons...

The High Energy cosmic-Radiation Detection (HERD) facility is one of several space astronomy payloads onboard China's Space Station, which is planned for operation starting around 2020. It is designed as a next generation space facility focused on indirect dark matter search, precise cosmic ray spectrum and composition measurements up to the knee energy, and high energy gamma-ray monitoring...

New Technology and Next generation of Experiments
Despite large progresses in building new detectors and in the analysis techniques, the key questions concerning the origin, acceleration and propagation of Galactic Cosmic Rays are still open. A number of new extensive air showers arrays is in progress.
The most ambitious and sensitive project between them is LHAASO, a new generation multi-component experiment to be installed at very high...

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is planned to be the next generation ground based observatory for very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy. It will provide a full sky-coverage by featuring an array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes both in the northern and southern hemispheres.
Sites close to Cerro Paranal (Chile) and on La Palma (Spain) have been recently chosen for final...

KM3NeT is a distributed research infrastructure comprising a network of deep-sea neutrino telescopes in the Mediterranean Sea. It will consist of building blocks of 115 vertical detection units anchored at the seabed, connected to shore. Each detection unit carries 18 optical modules equipped with 31 3” photomultipliers. Two configurations are defined to detect neutrinos in different ranges of...

Radio measurements yield calorimetric information on the electromagnetic shower component around the clock. However, until recently it was not clear whether radio measurements can compete in accuracy with established night-time techniques like air-Cherenkov or fluorescence detection. Due to recent progress in the radio technique as well as in the understanding of the emission mechanisms, the...

The JEM-EUSO mission, on board of the International Space Station (ISS), has the primary objective of doing astrophysics detecting extreme energy cosmic rays (EECRs), above 3x10^19eV. This Extreme Universe Space Observatory (EUSO), will be the first space mission to be devoted to the study of this energy range with the aim of extending the knowledge on sources, spectra and composition of...

PeV neutrino has been found in ICECUBE. The mixing along galactic distance guarantee the presence of PeV Tau neutrinos among astrophysical signals, whose direct detection is subject of deep research since a decade at different UHECR experiments , mostly at EeV energies; these UHE tau neutrino while skimming the Earth (Horizontal Tau airshowers) may shower upward to the sky.
The EeV tau...
