Abstract

Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays are the most energetic particles directly measured, reaching orders of magnitude above those attained in the LHC. The Pierre Auger Observatory is shedding light onto the long-standing mysteries of their nature and origin. The present paper briefly reviews the latest results: the energy spectrum and mass composition of UHECR, limits on the fluxes of photons and neutrinos, the study of anisotropies in the arrival directions of UHECS, and finally the constraints on high energy hadronic models. The paper will finish with the upgrade of the Observaotry: AugerPrime.
