Description

In this talk I will review the main results obtained by ground based experiments detecting the extensive air showers generated in atmosphere by the interaction of primary cosmic rays. I will show the latest results about the anisotropy, the primary spectrum and the chemical composition in the energetic range 10^12-10^20 eV. As the energetic interval is huge experiments operate at different heights above see level, cover different surfaces and use different techniques. I will discuss the shared features and the differences of these measurements, pointing out the experimental results expected in the near future.
