Cosmic ray physics in the 10^12-10^15eV primary energy range is among the main scientific goals of the ARGO-YBJ experiment. The detector, located in the Cosmic Ray Observatory of Yangbajing (Tibet, China) at 4300m a.s.l., is a full coverage Extensive Air Shower array consisting of a carpet of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) of about 7000m2. The apparatus layout, performance and location offer a...

The KASCADE-Grande experiment operated in KIT from January 2004 to November 2012, measuring EAS generated by primary cosmic rays in the 10^16-10^18 eV energy range. The experiment detected, for each single event and with a high resolution, the total number of charged particles (Nch) and of muons (Nm).
In this talk I will present the updated results about:
- the measurement of the all...

The Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina is the largest cosmic ray detector array ever built.
Although the construction was completed in 2008, the Observatory has been taking data continuously since January 2004.
Its main goal is to measure ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs, energy above $10^{18}$ eV) with unprecedented statistics and precision.
Measurements of the energy spectrum,...
