Recent results from the Pierre Auger Observatory on the mass composition and hadronic interactions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays

Recent results on the mass composition and hadronic interactions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) obtained at the Pierre Auger Observatory are reviewed. Different studies based on shower observables recorded with the fluorescence and surface detectors of the Observatory indicate that the mas...
