This award to Professors Loh, Cassiday and Sokolsky of the                 University of Utah is for the continued operation and upgrade                   development of the "Fly's Eye" facility.  This unique apparatus                 measures the nitrogen fluorescence light produced in cascades                   in the atmosphere initiated by ultra-high energy cosmic rays.                   The experiment studies the energy spectra and chemical                          composition of these cosmic rays.  The award also supports the                  initial design and prototype development stages of a upgrade of                 the facility to make a ten-fold increase in its sensitivity.                         This facility has already produced exciting new results                    which bear on the interaction of the cosmic rays with the three                 degree photons left from the "big bang" and on the mechanism of                 accelerating particles to energies much higher than ever                        achieved with a man-made device.  In the future, it will                        achieve greater sensitivity and may detect the presence of                      cosmic strings.
