Highlights from the Pierre Auger Observatory
read the original abstract
The Pierre Auger Observatory is a unique facility designed to study ultra-high energy cosmic rays, with energies up to 10$^{20}$ eV and beyond. The Observatory is located in Argentina and comprises more than 1600 water Cherenkov detectors spread over an area of 3000 square kilometers overlooked by Fluorescence detectors. The first phase of the Observatory's data-taking began in 2004 and continued until the end of 2021. In this contribution, the results from the Phase~I data analysis of the Pierre Auger Observatory are presented. They include, among others, measurements of the cosmic-ray energy spectrum, composition, and arrival direction anisotropy. The Phase~I results from the Pierre Auger Observatory provide major advances in the understanding of the ultra-high energy cosmic ray phenomena and lay the foundation for second-phase studies with the upgraded AugerPrime detector. The status of the AugerPrime upgrade and its performance will be also discussed.

Bounds on Lorentz invariance violation from muon fluctuations at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Muon-count fluctuations in Auger air showers exclude first-order Lorentz invariance violation in the hadronic sector down to η ≈ −1.3×10⁻⁶ at the highest confidence level reported.
