Searching for UHE Galactic Protons, and all things UHECRs, with Telescope Array

Abstract:

I will review the recent results from the Telescope Array Collaboration, including its new offspring TALE.  I will then focus on the latest searches for anisotropies at EeV energies, where all experiments agree that the composition is mostly protonic.  With 7 years of TA data we find that Galactic protons can not make up for more than 1% of the total UHECRs flux at EeV energies.
