The Pierre Auger Collaboration
We describe progress, plans, and expected performance of an upgraded Pierre Auger Observatory that will operate over the next decade. The upgrade, called AugerPrime, employs new scintillator and radio detectors to maximize the quality of the event-by-event probabilistic composition assignment, thereby maximizing the size of the dataset of low-Z events, and increasing the sensitivity of the Auger Observatory to high-energy neutrinos. AugerPrime will operate in concert with neutrino and gamma-ray measurements from other observatories to strongly constrain characteristics of UHECR sources and acceleration mechanisms. Furthermore, thanks to composition-assisted anisotropy studies, some individual sources of UHECR may be identified.
