AUGER COLLABORATION IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC
?sk?str?ky projektu AUGER Czech Flag

*
Project Auger will be the world's biggest detector of cosmic rays. It has been named after a French physicist Pierre Victor Auger (1899-1993) who dedicated part of his life to investigation of giant air showers.

*
Pierre Auger Observatory is designed to detect highest energy cosmic rays, from 1017 eV up to the end of known spectrum (EeV domain). The history of cosmic ray detection reaches back to the beginning of the century, yet many of the questions concerning its origin and propagation remain unsolved.

*
Auger Observatory is an international project. Participating laboratories can be found in Argentina, Armenia (associate member), Australia, Bolivia (associate member), Brazil, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, United Kingdom, United States and Vietnam (associate member).
