The Telescope Array (TA) project has been accumulating data on ultra-high energy cosmic rays for over four years. Results on the spectrum, composition and anisotropy of this
radiation will be presented. The current status of the Telescope Array Low Energy Extension (TALE), designed to study the termination of the galactic cosmic ray spectrum and the nature of the "ankle" in the cosmic ray...

"The study of the large-scale distribution of arrival directions of cosmic rays at EeV energies can provide a significant tool for shedding light on the energy at which the transition from a Galactic to an extragalactic origin takes place. The Pierre Auger Observatory includes two differently graded Extensive Air Showers arrays. One (covering 3000 km^2 with a 1500 m grid) detects showers from...

The ARGO-YBJ experiment has been in stable data taking for 5 years at the YangBaJing Cosmic Ray Laboratory (Tibet, P.R. China, 4300 m a.s.l., 606 g/cm2).
With a duty-cycle greater than 86% the detector collected about 5 X 10**11 events in a wide energy range, from few hundreds GeV up to the PeV.
A number of open problems in cosmic ray physics are being faced exploiting different...

The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has been surveying the sky since 2008, and a succession of general source catalogs based on deepening exposures and refinements of the analysis at all levels has been developed. The third general catalog of sources detected above 100 MeV, based on four years of LAT observations, is underway. In addition a catalog...

The ANTARES detector in the Mediterranean Sea is the largest deep-sea neutrino telescope in the Northern Hemisphere. It consists of an array of 885 PMTs detecting the Cherenkov light induced by charged leptons produced by neutrino interactions in and around the detector.
The primary goal of ANTARES is to search for astrophysical neutrinos in the TeV/PeV range. This includes searches for any...
