Abstract
Construction oft he first stage of the Pierre Auger Observatory has begun. The aim of the Observatory is to collect unprecedented information about cosmic rays above 1018 eV: The first phase ofth e project, the construction and operation ofa prototype system, known as the engineering array, has now been completed. It has allowed all of the sub-systems that will be used in the full instrument to be tested under field conditions. In this paper, the properties and performance of these sub-systems are described and their success illustrated with descriptions ofso me of the events recorded thus far.Pubblicazioni consigliate
