Abstract
Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are extremely energetic charged particles that originate from outer space. The Telescope Array (TA) experiment, the largest UHECR observatory in the Northern Hemisphere, has provided high-precision measurements of the cosmic ray energy spectrum due to its stable operation and efficient data collection. These measurements have revealed three significant spectral features: the ankle, shoulder, and cutoff. Analyzing these features is crucial for understanding the origin and propagation of UHECRs. In this talk, we will present the latest energy spectrum measured by the TA surface detectors and discuss the observed differences in the UHECR energy spectrum between the northern and southern skies.
