| contents | Ultra high energy cosmic rays: present status and recent results L. Villaseñor Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas Cosmic rays Cosmic rays with energies above 1020 eV are the highest-energy particles ever observed in the Universe. Their flux is so small that up tonow only about two dozen such particles have been detected by past and present observatories. Their nature, the location of their sourcesand the mechanisms by which they are produced or accelerated constitute still a mystery worth of investigating by gathering much higherstatistical samples of such events. The Pierre Auger Observatory is a large-area hybrid detector that is under construction to study such ultrahigh energy cosmic rays. At present the southern site is near completion and it already constitutes the largest scientific observatory ever builtto study cosmic rays. In this paper we describe the latest status of ultra high energy cosmic ray research with an emphasis on the PierreAuger Observatory. 2007 artículo científico 0035-001X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57066432 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/570/57066432/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/570/57066432/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/570/57066432/57066432.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/570/57066432/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=570 Revista Mexicana de Física application/pdf Sociedad Mexicana de Física A.C.
