Description

With increased statistics, the energy spectrum of cosmic rays reveals peculiar features at the highest energies that will be discussed in this contribution. In addition, knowing the composition of cosmic rays is important to be able to understand the data. Our composition measurement, as provided by the depth of the shower maximum and fluctuations of this depth can be compared to measurements of the muon content of air showers, revealing a discrepancy in those results. In this contribution both aspects will be discussed.
