Title: Future directions in astroparticle physics and the AUGER experiment
Abstract:The observation of cosmic ray particles with unexpected high energies is pushing astroparticle physics into a period of rapid progress both theoretically and experimentally.

Different proposed models for the generation of these particles are constrained by the absence of the predicted GZK cutoff in the cosmic ray spectrum and by the composition and the distribution of arrival directions observed. The database increase due to the Pierre Auger Observatory will provide a clearer picture of the spectral anisotropy and properties of such high energy particles, enabling tests of their origin and nature.Read More
