Abstract
The Pierre Auger Observatory has already collected more ultra high energy cosmic ray data than all previous experiments. The hybrid detection technique provides results on the energy spectrum and arrival directions of the highest energy cosmic rays, and characterize the extensive air showers in order to probe characteristics of the primary particle and its interactions. The Pierre Auger Observatory is also sensitive to ultra high energy neutrinos and photons. In this paper recent results from the Pierre Auger Observatory including a limit on the diffuse flux of neutrinos above 1017eV and limit on the fraction of photons to the total cosmic ray flux are shown.
