Scientific paper

The Pierre Auger Observatory is a detector for cosmic rays with energies greater than 10^19 EV. It consists of 1600 surface detectors covering 3000 km^2 surrounded by florescence detectors which observe the cosmic ray showers in coincidence with the surface detectors on dark moonless nights. This hybrid arrangement allows a determination of the energy of each cosmic ray with small systematic errors. Results on the spectrum, composition, and anisotropy of cosmic rays with energy in excess of 10^19 eV will be presented.
