文摘The observations of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) are renewed, focusing on the energy spectra as measured by HiRes, Telescope Array (TA) and Auger detectors (PAO). It is found that highest energy Auger steepening does not agree with GZK cutoff, which is most probably explained by the nuclei mass composition detected by Auger. At present the difference in mass composition in Auger and HiRes/TA data remains the main unsolved problem of UHECR origin.
