DESCRIPTION:The Pierre Auger Observatory is the world-wide largest cosmic 
 ray detector covering an area of 3000 km². It is operated by a collaborat
 ion of more than 400 scientists from 17 countries. The aim of the observat
 ory is the study of the highest energy particles of the Universe – ultra
 -high energy cosmic rays. About 15 full-array-size-equivalent years of exp
 osure have been accumulated up to the end of 2021 with the Auger Observato
 ry in the old configuration\, referred to as Phase I.\n\nData from Phase I
  of the Auger Observatory have revolutionized our understanding of high en
 ergy phenomena linked to the most violent processes in the Universe. Scien
 tific breakthroughs have been achieved in several fields. The new perspect
 ives opened by these results called for an upgrade of the observatory\, wi
 th the main aim of collecting new information about the primary mass of th
 e highest energy cosmic rays on a shower-by-shower basis. The full-efficie
 ncy data taking with the upgraded array will start in 2025 and will add da
 ta for 10 more years.\n\nThe extension of the International Agreement will
  provide the administrative foundation to continue the operation of hte Pi
 erre Auger Observatory in the upcoming Phase II\, operating the upgraded d
 etector.\n\nhttps://indico.nucleares.unam.mx/event/2235/
