Speaker
Description
The Pierre Auger Observatory is the world's largest detector of
ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). Since the start of its operation
in 2004, a data set unrivaled both in quality and statistics was collected
with the Observatory using the fluorescence and surface detectors.
Currently, an upgrade of the Observatory, AugerPrime, consisting of the
addition of surface scintillator, radio and underground muon detectors is ongoing.
The aim of the upgrade is to enable the separation of electromagnetic
and muonic components of air showers using the ground detector array and
to increase its sensitivity to the mass of primary cosmic rays.
In these proceedings, we present the most recent highlights from the
Pierre Auger Observatory on a broad range of results concerning energy
spectrum, mass composition, arrival directions and nuclear interactions
of UHECRs, multimessenger physics, search for neutral particles, and new
physics. In addition, we report on the first results obtained with the radio and
underground muon engineering arrays of the Pierre Auger Observatory.
