Results from the Auger Observatory on high‐energy cosmic rays

The Auger project was designed to study the highest‐energy cosmic rays by measuring the properties of the showers produced in the atmosphere. The Southern Auger Observatory has taken data since January 2004 and is now completed. The most important results are the observation of the suppression of the high‐energy events due to the GZK effect and the discovery of the angular correlation with nearby cxtragalactic objects.
