  • 1. Universite Paris-Sud, IN2P3/CNRS, LAL-UMR8607, Orsay 91405 (France)

Description

This is a review of the experimental data concerning the energy spectrum, the arrival distribution and the composition of cosmic rays with energies > 1017 eV. We discuss conditions for production of cosmic rays and expected effects for observation. Main recent results issued by observation of cosmic ray at high and very high energy will also be presented.
