Description
The Pierre Auger Observatory in the southern site of Mendoza, Argentina is the largest cosmic ray detector ever built. Since its completion in 2008, the Observatory is steadily taking data with 3000 km**2 of active detection area, accumulating an unprecedented statistics of high quality events. Results are presented on the energy spectrum of cosmic rays from 10**18 eV to the highest energy, on the anisotropy of the arrival direction of the highest energy cosmic rays, and on the nature and composition of cosmic rays.
