Description

As of early 2025, the GRAND collaboration has three prototype arrays in operation: GRANDProto300 in China, GRAND@Nançay in France, and GRAND@Auger in Argentina.The GRAND@Auger prototype was established through a collaboration between the GRAND and Pierre Auger Observatories, repurposing ten Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) stations into GRAND detection units. This setup provides a unique opportunity for coincident air-shower detection, enabling direct event-by-event comparison between GRAND@Auger and the well-established Pierre Auger detectors. These comparisons allow for a detailed assessment of the detection principle and the reconstruction capabilities of GRAND. In this contribution, we present an overview of the commissioning and preliminary results of GRAND@Auger, highlighting its role in advancing the GRAND project and refining the techniques required for large-scale radio detection of UHE particles.
