The '''Telescope Array project''' is an international collaboration involving research and educational institutions in Japan, The United States, Russia, South Korea, and Belgium.<ref name=Tokuno>{{cite journal|last=Tokuno|first=H.|display-authors=etal |title=New air fluorescence detectors employed in the Telescope Array experiment|journal=Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research A|date=21 February 2012|volume=676|pages=54–65|doi=10.1016/j.nima.2012.02.044|arxiv = 1201.0002 |bibcode = 2012NIMPA.676...54T }}</ref> The experiment is designed to observe air showers induced by [[ultra-high-energy cosmic ray]] using a combination of ground array and air-fluorescence techniques. It is located in the high desert in [[Millard County, Utah|Millard County]], [[Utah]] (USA) at about {{convert|1400|m|ft|sp=us}} above sea level.
