Abstract

The Pierre Auger Southern Observatory, a hybrid detector for the study of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), has now been operating for more than five years and has reached completion. This contribution describes the present status and performance of the Observatory, showing the advantages provided by the combined use of two different detection techniques. Selected results are presented with the emphasis given to the measurement of energy spectrum, arrival directions at the highest energies and search for photons as primary particles.
