Abstract: (Elsevier)
Final results from the High Resolution Fly@?s Eye (HiRes) on the observation of the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cutoff in the cosmic ray spectrum are presented. We observe a cutoff consistent with the GZK predictions with a five sigma significance. Th e nature of the cosmic ray composition near the GZK cutoff is also discussed as well as possible correlations of the highest energy cosmic rays with AGN@?s and local large scale structure in the Northern sky.
