Ultra - High Energy Cosmic Rays : a Window to Post - Inflationary Reheating Epoch of the Universe ?

We conjecture that the highest energy cosmic rays, E > E GZK , where E GZK ∼ 5 · 10 19 eV is the Greisen–Zatsepin–Kuzmin cutoff energy of cosmic ray spectrum, may provide a unique window into the very early epoch of the Universe, namely, that of reheating after inflation, provided these cosmic rays are due to decays of parent superheavy long-living X-particles. These particles may constitute a ...

Magnetars in the Metagalaxy: An Origin for Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays in the Nearby Universe

I show that the relativistic winds of newly born magnetars (neutron stars with petagauss surface magnetic fields) with initial spin rates close to the centrifugal breakup limit, occurring in all normal galaxies with massive star formation, can provide a source of ultrarelativistic light ions with an E injection spectrum, steepening to E at higher energies, with an upper cutoff at 10 − 10 eV. In...

Opening the Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray Window from the Top Pasquale Blasi

While several arguments can be proposed against the existence of particles with energy in excess of (3 − 5) × 10 eV in the cosmic ray spectrum, these particles are actually observed and their origin seeks for an explanation. After a description of the problems encountered in explaining these ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) in the context of astrophysical sources, we will review the so-ca...
