Abstract
Results from the High Resolution Fly's Eye (HiRes) experiment and the Pierre Auger Observatory (PAO) on the observation of the Greissen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cutoff in the cosmic ray spectrum are presented. Both experiments observe a cutoff consistent with the GZK predictions with a five and six sigma significance respectively. The nature of the cosmic ray composition near the GZK cutoff is discussed as well as the recent claim of a correlation of the highest energy cosmic rays with AGNs in the Southern sky.
