        2. The Pierre Auger Observatory is an international cosmic ray observatory in Argentina designed to detect ultra-high-energy cosmic rays.
        3. Prosper Victor AUGER was born in , in birth place.
        4. The Pierre Auger Observatory provides a unique possibility for this task thanks to its great exposure to cosmic rays and its hybrid measurement technique which.

          5. Pierre Auger: The Pioneering Work/Les Origines

          The Auger Observatory experiment was named after Pierre Victor Auger (Paris, 14/5/1899 - Paris, 25/12/1993) who can be considered as the discoverer of the giant airshowers generated by the interaction of very high-energy cosmic rays with the earth's atmosphere.

          A few dates on the life and works of Pierre Auger [excerpts from a biographical note written by himself in 1971]:

          • 1919: enters the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris in the biology group but with interest in atomic physics.

          • 1922-1942: devotes his professional life to experimental physics in the fields of:
            • Atomic physics (photoelectric effect);
            • Nuclear physics (slow neutrons);
            • Cosmic ray physics (atmospheric air-showers).

          • 1939-1941: is in charge of the organisation of a service of documentation for the laboratories working for the defence.
          • 1941: leaves France and enters the "Forces Françaises Libres" (Free French Forces).
