摘要
The very few cosmic rays observed during the last decades by several ground detectors and with energies beyond the spectral cutoff (around a few times 10(19) eV) are considered up to now as being an astrophysical puzzle : the mechanism by which they are produced and the distribution of the sources they come from find no satisfactory explanations through models based on conventional astrophysical processes. The Auger project is a collective attempt of international size to bring an answer to this yet unsolved problem.
