Scientific paper

The detection of cosmic ray particles with energies above 10^18 eV remains today one of the most intriguing observations in physics. After a half century of investigation by various experiments very little is know about their composition and origin. Over the last decade, reports by the Fly's Eye and the AGASA groups of cosmic rays above the theoretical Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) cut-off at ~6x10^19 eV only deepens the mystery. The High Resolution Fly's Eye (HiRes) is the latest in a continuing series of ultra-high energy (UHE) cosmic ray experiments. Using an array of fluorescence detectors divided into two sites, HiRes has now two years of monocular data, and has begun stereo observations. Latest results from HiRes will be reported. Beyond, HiRes, a new generation of UHE cosmic ray experiments are planned for the middle and latter half of the new decade. These include the Auger Observatory and the Telescope Array Project. Beyond the first decade of the 21st Century, there is also a proposal for the deployment of fluorescence detectors aboard high-orbit equatorial satellites. These new developments will also be discussed.
