Particle Candidates of Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Rays
We discuss candidates for trans-GZK cosmic rays observed in a variety of detectors. Three types of primaries are represented among the abstracts submitted to this meeting: neutrinos causing a Z-burst, protons arising from the decay of ultra-heavy metastable particles and neutrinos within the framework of low scale string-like models of unification. We attempt to evaluate the relative merits of ...
متن کاملRadiative Energy Loss by Galactic Cosmic Rays
Interactions between galactic cosmic rays and matter are a primary focus of the NASA radiation problem. The electromagnetic forces involved are for the most part well documented. Building on previous research, this study investigated the relative importance of the weak forces that occur when a cosmic ray impinges on di!erent types of materials. For the familiar electromagnetic case, it is known...
متن کاملParticle and Astrophysics Aspects of Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Rays
The origin of cosmic rays is one of the major unresolved astrophysical questions. In particular, the highest energy cosmic rays observed possess macroscopic energies and their origin is likely to be associated with the most energetic processes in the Universe. Their existence triggered a flurry of theoretical explanations ranging from conventional shock acceleration to particle physics beyond t...
متن کاملCosmic Rays at Extreme Energies
Interest in extremely high energy cosmic rays has increased rapidly in the last decade. More important perhaps is that that interest now extends well beyond the \usual suspects" to include members of the wider astrophysics and high energy physics communities. Factors which have contributed to this development include: a keener appreciation of the diiculties associated with cosmic ray production...
متن کاملDetecting Cosmic Rays of the Highest Energies
The highest energies are defined, at a given time, by our detector capabilities. Thus the highest energies will be the just measured or soon to be measured energies. To-day, the frontier in cosmic rays reaches 10 eV. This represents a macroscopic energy, namely 16 J, transported by a microscopic object. For charged particles, the highest energy events seem to necessitate some New Physics, beyon...
