The Pierre Auger Observatory is the largest facility in the world to observe ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. It has a hybrid detection technique which combines the observation of the longitudinal development of the shower of secondary particles produced in the atmosphere by the cosmic primary and the measurement of particles at ground. This has allowed the Auger Collaboration to produce results...
Next generation neutrino experiments will push the limits in our understanding of astroparticle physics in the neutrino sector to energies orders of magnitude higher than the current state-of-the-art high-energy neutrino experiment, IceCube. These experiments will use neutrinos to tell us about the most extreme environments in the universe, while simultaneously leveraging these extreme...
The Giant Radio Array for Neutrino Detection (GRAND) is designed to detect ultra-high-energy cosmic particles — specially neutrinos, cosmic rays and gamma-rays using radio antennas. On its final design, the radio array will contain 200,000 antennas and cover a total area of 200,000 km$^{2}$ split in $\sim$20 montainous sites spread worldwide. The detection strategy is based on the coherent...
