Abstract

The scientific achievements of the Pierre Auger Collaboration cover diverse and complementary fields of research. The search for the origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) is based on the measurement of the energy spectrum and mass composition of the primaries, on studies of multi-messengers, and on extensive anisotropy searches. With the collected data it is also possible to explore the characteristics of hadronic interactions at energies unreachable at human-made accelerators, and to assess the existence of non-standard physics effects. A selection of the latest results is presented and the emerging picture is discussed.

Strengths

This is an interesting paper worth publishing after revision

Weaknesses

The author frequently uses jargon formulations, which need to be reformulated.
Also, the author is using long sentences, which are not characteristic for the English language; these need to be split into 2 (or more) separate sentences.

Report

This article meets the journal acceptance criteria, but the text needs language and formulation revision
