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.
