Abstract

The Pierre Auger Observatory is a state-of-the-art cosmic ray detector, allowing one to analyse the properties of ultra-high energy cosmic rays with unprecedented precision. The observatory, covering an area of 3 000 km2, combines two different detection techniques, making it the first of its kind. Here, we present some of the most relevant results obtained by this exper-iment
