Speaker
Description
Astroparticles open exciting new horizons in the realm of particle physics research by exploring energy regimes beyond the reach of traditional accelerators. The study of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays involves the observation of the air showers they generate in the atmosphere, offering a unique tool to investigate the most energetic particles in the Universe. The Pierre Auger Observatory, as the largest cosmic-ray air shower detector, employs an innovative hybrid approach that enables simultaneous monitoring of the longitudinal development of air showers in the atmosphere and the detection of particles at ground level. This methodology significantly enhances precision in characterizing air showers, driving advancements in cosmic-ray research. Despite these achievements, substantial uncertainties persist in modeling hadronic interactions at ultra-high energies. Results that are most relevant for elucidating the characteristics of hadronic interactions in the ultra-high energy regime will be presented.
