摘要:The Pierre Auger Observatory was designed to detect ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) and to unveil some of the long-standing issues associated with these particles, such as their origin, their acceleration mechanisms, and their interactions. Recent measurements made with the Pierre Auger Observatory of the flux, arrival directions, and composition of UHECRs are presented. Upper limits on the high energy neutrino and photon flux are also presented. The physical and astrophysical interpretations of these measurements are discussed.
