説明

<jats:p> Cosmic rays are energetic charged particles from extraterrestrial sources, with the highest-energy events thought to come from extragalactic sources. Their arrival is infrequent, so detection requires instruments with large collecting areas. In this work, we report the detection of an extremely energetic particle recorded by the surface detector array of the Telescope Array experiment. We calculate the particle’s energy as <jats:inline-formula> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline" overflow="scroll"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>244</mml:mn> <mml:mo>±</mml:mo> <mml:mn>29</mml:mn> <mml:mtext> </mml:mtext> <mml:mfenced> <mml:mrow> <mml:mtext>stat</mml:mtext> <mml:mtext>.</mml:mtext> </mml:mrow> </mml:mfenced> <mml:msubsup> <mml:mtext> </mml:mtext> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>−</mml:mo> <mml:mn>76</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> <mml:mn>51</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msubsup> <mml:mfenced> <mml:mrow> <mml:mtext>syst</mml:mtext> <mml:mtext>.</mml:mtext> </mml:mrow> </mml:mfenced> <mml:mtext> exa–electron volts</mml:mtext> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> </jats:inline-formula> (~40 joules). Its arrival direction points back to a void in the large-scale structure of the Universe. Possible explanations include a large deflection by the foreground magnetic field, an unidentified source in the local extragalactic neighborhood, or an incomplete knowledge of particle physics. </jats:p>
