Funded Activity Summary

Exploring the high energy sky with the Pierre Auger Observatory. Cosmic rays are enormously energetic particles that must originate in the most violent environments in the Universe. This work will use the 3000 sq km Pierre Auger Observatory, built in collaboration with Australian physicists, to pinpoint the origin of these rare particles, thus laying to rest one of the longest standing mysteries in astronomy.
