| contents | First results from the Pierre Auger Observatory Ronald Cintra Shellard Pierre Auger Collaboration Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas Cosmic Rays Galactic Center Auger Observatory We review in these notes the status of the construction of the Pierre Auger Observatory and present thefirst Physics results, based on the data collected during the first year and a half of operation. These resultsare preliminary, once the work to understand the systematics of the detectors are still underway. We discussthe cosmic ray spectrum above 3 EeV, based on the measurement done using the Surface Detector and theFluorescence Detector, both, components of the observatory. We discuss, as well, the search for anisotropy nearthe Galactic Center and the limit on the photon fraction at the highest energies. 2006 artículo científico 0103-9733 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=46436612 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=464 Brazilian Journal of Physics application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Física Brazilian Journal of Physics (Brasil) Num.4A Vol.36 |
