I am a researcher specialized in the indirect detection of cosmic rays and a member of the Pierre Auger Collaboration. My research area is the search for ultra-high energy photons between a few PeV and 200 PeV with the Pierre Auger Observatory data. Currently, this is the only search from a facility located in the Southern Hemisphere with a privileged exposure to the galactic plane and center. Primary photons at such energies are a probe for cosmic-ray acceleration and decay of dark matter.
