On November 16, 2024, the representatives of the funding agencies signed the extension of the agreement in a formal ceremony in Malargüe.
The 7th International Symposium on Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays will be held in Malargüe, Mendoza, Argentina.
Katarina Simkova and Ben Flaggs, both PhD students in the Pierre Auger Collaboration, won poster prizes at the Belgian Physical Society conference.
A new consultation bulletin was established to help the visitors of the Pierre Auger Observatory in Malargüe to go deeper into topics related to scientific and technological work at the Observatory.
We are pleased to announce the release 2024, version 3, of our open data which extends the cosmic ray dataset to lower energies.
We are very happy to announce the election of our new spokespersons Antonella Castellina and Markus Roth at the recent collaboration meeting of the Pierre Auger Observatory.
Impact Award
The Pierre Auger Collaboration Impact Award
The Pierre Auger Collaboration Impact Award was established in 2020 and it is dedicated to people who have spent a significant amount of their time on technical developments that have a very large impact on the functioning of the detectors or on data analysis.
The scientific results we are providing are highly dependent on technical efforts, which often are not visible in scientific publications or cannot be given proper credit in papers. This award is intended to give both internal and external recognition to those people and their efforts in detector design, software development, and simulation production, among other activities, to help young colleagues start a career in science.
The candidates can be either non-senior members of the Collaboration: students and scientists at post-doctoral level, or technicians and engineers who have made exceptionally important technical contributions to the success of the project, linked to any area of the experiment.
