DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Toshihiro FUJII (KICP University of Chicago\, ICRR U
 niversity of Tokyo)\nWe present a concept for large-area\, low-cost detect
 ion of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) with a Fluorescence detector
  Array of Single-pixel Telescopes (FAST)\, addressing the requirements for
  the next generation of UHECR experiments. In the FAST design\, a large fi
 eld of view is covered by a few pixels at the focal plane of a mirror or F
 resnel lens. We report first results of a FAST prototype installed at the 
 Telescope Array site\, consisting of a single 200 mm photomultiplier tube 
 (PMT) at the focal plane of a 1 m^2 Fresnel lens system taken from the pro
 totype of the JEM-EUSO experiment. The FAST prototype took data for 19 nig
 hts\, demonstrating remarkable operational stability. We detected laser sh
 ots at distances of several kilometres as well as 16 highly significant UH
 ECR shower candidates. Moreover\, we show a full-scale FAST prototype unde
 r construction which consists of a 2x2 PMT camera and a segmented shperica
 l mirror of 1.6 m diameter.\n\nhttps://indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/event/23/
