HiRes (HiRes-I, HiRes-II, and HiRes prototype) used the &amp;quot;atmospheric fluorescence&amp;quot; technique that was pioneered by the Utah group first in tests at the [[Volcano Ranch experiment]] and then with the original Fly&amp;#039;s Eye experiment.

HiRes-II followed later and was located on a hilltop about 13km away.  HiRes-I and HiRes-II operated in stereo.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;{{Short description|Ultra-high-energy cosmic ray observatory in Utah, United States}}&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;High Resolution Fly&amp;#039;s Eye&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; or &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;HiRes&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; detector was an [[ultra-high-energy cosmic ray]] observatory that operated in the [[West Desert]] of Utah from 1981 until April&amp;amp;nbsp;2006. HiRes (HiRes-I, HiRes-II, and HiRes prototype) used the &amp;quot;atmospheric fluorescence&amp;quot; technique that was pioneered by the Utah group first in tests at the [[Volcano Ranch experiment]] and then with the original Fly&amp;#039;s Eye experiment. The experiment first ran as the HiRes prototype in a tower configuration operating in conjunction with the CASA (Chicago Air Shower Array) and MIA (Michigan Muon Array).  The prototype was later reconfigured to view 360 degrees in azimuth. HiRes-II followed later and was located on a hilltop about 13km away.  HiRes-I and HiRes-II operated in stereo. In 1991 it discovered the [[Oh-My-God Particle]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Hardware and development==&lt;br /&gt;
The High Resolution Fly&amp;#039;s Eye used larger mirrors and smaller pixels as compared with the original Fly&amp;#039;s Eye, hence the name. A prototype of the HiRes experiment operated between 1993 and 1996 at the original Fly&amp;#039;s Eye-I site (Five Mile Hill). It was configured in a tower viewing a narrow wedge of sky from 3–73&amp;amp;nbsp;degrees in elevation. First the Utah ground array and later the [[Chicago Air Shower Array|CASA]] and MIA (ground array and muon array) experiments were placed on the surface in the view of the HiRes prototype. This then became the first &amp;quot;hybrid experiment&amp;quot; collecting information both on the development of the [[Air shower (physics)|air shower]] induced by the incident cosmic ray, but also measuring the shower&amp;#039;s footprint at the Earth&amp;#039;s surface and 3&amp;amp;nbsp;m below surface (with the buried muon array). The HiRes prototype was disassembled early in 1997 to become part of the final HiRes configuration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In its final configuration, HiRes was composed of two sites separated by 12.6&amp;amp;nbsp;km. The sites were located on hilltops in [[Dugway Proving Grounds]], a U.S. Army test facility in the [[West Desert]] of Utah. HiRes-I (located on Five Mile Hill or Little Granite Mountain&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;({{coord|40.1953|-112.8363|display=inline}})&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;cosmic-ray.org&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |last=Jui |first=Charles C.H. |url=http://www.cosmic-ray.org/news/sbf/sld021.htm |title=Introduction to Cosmic Rays |page=21 |website=High Resolution Fly&amp;#039;s Eye |publisher=[[University of Utah]] |date=March 22, 2000 |access-date=November 15, 2012 |df=dmy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; had one ring of 22&amp;amp;nbsp;telescopes viewing from 3–17&amp;amp;nbsp;degrees in elevation. HiRes-I was instrumented with sample and hold electronics which took a &amp;quot;snapshot&amp;quot; of the extensive air shower generated when the incident cosmic ray interacted with the atmosphere. Meanwhile, HiRes-II (located on Camel&amp;#039;s Back Ridge &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;({{coord|40.13194|-112.95896|display=inline,title}})&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;cosmic-ray.org&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; had two rings of telescopes to provide viewing higher into the atmosphere. It observed from 3 to 31&amp;amp;nbsp;degrees in elevation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
HiRes-II was instrumented with a [[Flash ADC|flash analog to digital converter]] (FADC) so that it essentially made movies of the cosmic ray events.  Both observatory sites provided full azimuthal coverage (360&amp;amp;nbsp;degrees in azimuth). They were operated independently on moonless clear nights.  The duty cycle of HiRes was close to 10%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Accomplishments==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The HiRes discovered the [[Oh-My-God particle]], an [[ultra-high-energy cosmic ray]], on 15 October 1991.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Wolchover |first1=Natalie |title=The Particle That Broke a Cosmic Speed Limit |url=https://www.quantamagazine.org/ultrahigh-energy-cosmic-rays-traced-to-hotspot-20150514 |website=Quanta Magazine |access-date=24 January 2022}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The HiRes experiment made the first observation of the [[Greisen–Zatsepin–Kuzmin limit]] (GZK cutoff)&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal |first1=R.U. |last1=Abbasi |display-authors=etal |collaboration=High Resolution Fly’s Eye Collaboration |title=First observation of the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin suppression |date=10 March 2008 |doi=10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.101101 |pmid=18352170 |volume=100 |issue=10 |journal=Physical Review Letters |page=101101 |bibcode=2008PhRvL.100j1101A |arxiv=astro-ph/0703099}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; which is an indication of the highest energy cosmic rays interacting with the [[cosmic microwave background]] and the universe becoming opaque to their propagation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 final results of the HiRes experiment confirmed the GZK cutoff.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal |first1=P. |last1=Sokolsky |display-authors=etal |collaboration=HiRes Collaboration |title=Final results from the High Resolution Fly&amp;#039;s Eye (HiRes) experiment |journal=Nuclear Physics B |series=Proceedings Supplements |volume=212–213 |date=March–April 2011 |pages=74–78 |arxiv=1010.2690 |bibcode=2011NuPhS.212...74S |doi=10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2011.03.010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A follow-on experiment to the High Resolution Fly&amp;#039;s Eye and [[Akeno Giant Air Shower Array]] (AGASA) experiments is the [[Telescope Array Project]] which began data collection in central Utah in 2007. A similar approach, but with the [[Cherenkov detector|water-Cherenkov detectors]], has been employed for the [[Pierre Auger Observatory]] which began collecting data in 2004.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Awards==&lt;br /&gt;
Dr.&amp;amp;nbsp;[[Pierre Sokolsky]] and Dr.&amp;amp;nbsp;George Cassidy, both of the [[University of Utah]], received the 2007 [[Panofsky Prize]] for their work on the HiRes experiment.&lt;br /&gt;
