Description
Authorship: The Pierre Auger Collaboration
The mass composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays is a critical issue to understand their origin and nature. The Pierre Auger Observatory is a hybrid instrument which
provides a powerful environment for the determination of the primary mass, being able to discriminate between photons, neutrinos and hadrons. Results on limits of photon
and neutrino fluxes together with hadronic identification are presented. The dependence of average primary mass with energy by comparison with current predictions from
models is finally discussed.
