| description | The Pierre Auger Observatory is the largest facility in the world to study
ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. It has a hybrid detection technique that
combines the observation of the longitudinal development of extensive air
showers and the measurement of their particles at the ground. This capability
has opened the possibility to probe hadronic interactions taking place at
energies well beyond those accessible by human-made accelerators. In this
report, we present a selection of the latest results on hadronic interactions
with measurements from the Pierre Auger Observatory. These data span over three
decades in energy, showing the tension between data from the muon component of
air showers and predictions based on the most updated hadronic interaction
models. |
