Description
The Pierre Auger Observatory in Malargue Argentina is dedicated to the study of ultra-high energy cosmic rays, using a hybrid detector (combination of fluorescence and surface detectors) of unprecendent size and precision. I will review the latest results of the Observatory, like UHECR spectrum and composition, with special emphasis on the ones relevant to the particle physics community such as neutrino limits and p-Air and p-p cross sections at the highest energies.
