| Résumé : | The Pierre Auger Observatory is the largest detector ever built to measure ultra-high energy cosmic rays. It employs a hybrid technique, combining a surface detector consisting of 1660 water-Cherenkov stations and a fluorescence detector composed of 27 Schmidt telescopes. The construction of the Observatory started in 2004, and since then, it has been continuously taking data in a stable manner. We will present the behavior of the Observatory over more than 14 years and the expected response into the future with the AugerPrime upgrade now underway. Key performance indicators such as the on-time and the event rates will be presented, along with reference to calibration and monitor instruments. |
