is designed to elucidate the origin and nature of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR). With an unprecedented aperture and sensitivity, and with the use of a hybrid technique, it will be able to collect and characterize a large number of Extensive Air Showers generated by primaries with energies gr
The Southern Pierre Auger Observatory is close to completion. Data have been taken since January 2004 while the array was being constructed, what amounts to 41 year of exposure with the full array. Results on the energy spectrum of UHECRs above 10 18 eV, on the mass composition of the primary flux,
