The main objective of the Auger Observatory beyond 2015 [1] is to measure composition-sensitive observables at very high energies and, in particular, to disentangle the origin of the flux suppression at 40 EeV, search for light particles, photons and neutrinos, and to study features of the hadronic interactions. These topics are intimately related to separate muonic from electromagnetic shower components in order to group showers into different mass groups.
