 ## [Pierre Auger Observatory -- AugerPrime](AugerPrime)
 
+### Physics
+
+* Astroparticle physics
+* Quest for the still unknown origin and acceleration of cosmic rays
+* The world largest (3000 km²) cosmic-ray detector located in Argentina
+* Sensitive above several 100 PeV
+* Measurement of the spectrum and composition of cosmic-rays
+* Upgrade on-going for a better determination of the primary particle type
+
+### Technology
+
+* Water-Cherenkov detectors (Auger)
+* Scintillator detectors (AugerPrime)
+* A prototype scintillator array using SiPMs
+
 ## [First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope -- FACT](FACT)
 
+### Physics
+
+* Astronomy at TeV energies
+* Possible origin of cosmic-rays: Active Galactic Nuclei
+* Time evolution of their spectrum (monitoring)
+
+### Technology
+
+* Imaging air-Cherenkov telescope (IACT) with 1440 pixels in La Palma (Spain)
+* The first IACT using SiPM (G-APD) as light sensors
+* Image analysis
+* Data analysis of long-term light-curves
+
+
 ## [High Altitude Water-Cherenkov Observatory -- HAWC's Eye (formerly FAMOUS)](HAWC's Eye)
 
+### Physics
+
+* Astronomy at TeV energies
+* First all-sky detector (first all-sky map)
+* Ideal to monitor the sky for transient events
+
+### Technology
+
+* Huge Water tanks located near Puebla (Mexico)
+* Compact imaging air-Cherenkov Telescopes (HAWC's Eye / FAMOUS)
+* Improvements expected from the combination of both technologies
+* First hybrid detector of this kind
